Westminster Abbey postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original art by Emily.
Emily’s art postcard presents a vibrant and lively interpretation of Westminster Abbey, blending architectural grandeur with a playful, colourful style. The building itself is rendered in warm tones of pink, beige, and soft browns, highlighting its Gothic arches, spires, and intricate stonework.
The bright blue sky above provides a calm, open backdrop, lightly textured with hints of white cloud. In the foreground, a meadow of wildflowers bursts with purples, pinks, blues and splashes of yellow. Trees on either side frame the composition, their green foliage speckled with colour, enhancing the sense of depth, while celebrating the iconic Westminster Abbey within a joyful, almost dreamlike setting.

Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey, located in the heart of London, is one of the most famous religious buildings in the United Kingdom and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally founded as a Benedictine monastery in the 10th century, it was rebuilt by King Edward the Confessor in the 11th century and later transformed into the magnificent Gothic church that stands today.
The Abbey has been the site of every English and British coronation since 1066 and has hosted numerous royal weddings and funerals, making it central to the nation’s history. It is also a place of remembrance, with over 3,000 notable figures buried or commemorated there, including monarchs, poets, scientists, and statesmen. With its soaring architecture, intricate stained glass, and historic significance, Westminster Abbey
remains both a working church and a symbol of Britain’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
