Thread: #WestminsterHall

As #QueenElizabethII lies in state. I thought a thread on #WestminsterHall and its history world be interesting.

Built by William II (son of William the Conquereor) in 1099. It was the largest hall in England and possible Europe. 1/18 Thread: #WestminsterHall

The Hall is 73 meters by 20 meters (240ft by 63 ft). Its walls are 2 meters thick and when built was an amazing feet on engineering as the design of the early roof has been a mystery in its early design. 2/18
