Westminster, stands on the site where Edward the Confessor had the
original palace built in the first half of the eleventh century. In 1547
the royal residence was moved to Whitehall Palace, but the Lords
continued to meet at Westminster, while the commons met in St. Stephen’s
Chapel. Ever since these early times, the Palace of Westminster has
been home to the English Parliament.
In 1834 a fire broke out which destroyed much of the old palace, all
that remained was the chapel crypt, The Jewel Tower and Westminster
Hall. It was Lord Melbourne, the Prime Minister, who saved the great
hall by arranging for the fire engines to be brought right into the hall
and personally supervising the fire fighting operation.
The magnificent Gothic Revival masterpiece you see today was built
between 1840 and 1888, this was the work of Charles Barry who designed
the buildings to blend with nearby Westminster Abbey. The two imposing
towers, well known landmarks in London, are the clock tower, named after
it’s thirteen ton bell called Big Ben, and Victoria tower, on whose
flag pole the Union Jack flies when parliament is sitting. Much of the
Victorian detail of the interior was the work of Barry’s assistant
Augustus Pugin.
Entrance to Westminster Hall is permitted only as part of a guided
tour, otherwise it can be viewed from St. Stephen’s porch above. The
hall measuring 240 feet by 60 feet has an impressive hammerbeam roof of
oak and is one of the most imposing medieval halls in Europe. In this
noble setting coronation banquets were held until 1821. It was used as
England’s highest court of law until the nineteenth century and it was
here that Guy Fawkes was tried for attempting to blow up the House of
Lords on 5th November 1605. The statue of Oliver Cromwell, which stands
outside the hall, reminds us it was here in 1653 that he was sworn in as
Lord Protector.
The route to the upper and lower houses takes you through the huge
wooden doors into St. Stephen’s hall. The vaulted ceiling and murals
were designed by Barry to replicate the medieval chapel where the
commons met until 1834. From here you are ushered into the well known
octagonal Central Lobby, whose tiled walls are inscribed with Latin
mottos. This is the central meeting place where constituents can meet or
“lobby” their Members of Parliament. It is from here that you will be
shown your direction either to the House of Lords or Commons.
House of Commons.

An incendiary bomb destroyed the House of Commons in 1941. A
reconstruction of Barry’s original design for the house, taken from St.
Stephen’s chapel, the commons old meeting place, was completed in 1950.
The seating arrangement in the house is reminiscent of choir stalls, the
members of the cabinet sit on the front benches while opposition senior
members sit directly opposite. The distance between the benches marked
out on the floor in red lines, is exactly two sword lengths and one foot
apart. Members are not allowed to cross these lines, thus ensuring that
debates are kept orderly. In the centre of the floor stands the Table
of the House, on which the mace is placed at the start of each
parliamentary sitting; this is the Speaker’s sceptre. The speaker of the
house presides over sittings, keeping order.

our grandfather's. He lives and works in the forest - he is a forester. He lives in a small house. He has a garden. Different plants grow in his garden. It is very beautiful there. There is a lake near the house. The lake is full is fish. Near the lake there are high green hills and large fields. A lot of different flowers grow in the fields. I like forget-me-not best of all. The forest is full of mushrooms and berries. Different birds and animals live on the hills and in the forest. Grandfather knows and loves them all. He knows a lot of things about animals: where they live in winter and in summer, what they eat, what they like to do, how they teach their children and play with them. He knows all about birds too. When a bird is singing he can say what bird it is. In winter when there is not much food to eat in the forest, he gives the birds something to eat. Grandfather likes the forest. He always says that the forest is full of wonders. We like to listen to grandfather's stories about the forest's wonders. At my granny's Last summer we went to visit my granny. She has got a nice little house in the country. It is very comfortable. There is a living-room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet, a hall and there are two bedrooms. There are many different flowers in front of the house and behind it, there are a lot of fruit trees too. We like to visit our granny, but we don't often go there, as we are very busy. That summer day my granny was out but w had the keys with us. I wanted to have a nice day in the country. We went there by taxi. Granny's house is very neat and nice. There are two floors. The kitchen and the living-room are on the ground floor. There is a fireplace in the living-room. I like to sit in the old rocking arm-chair by the fire in the evening. The television is also here. The bedrooms and the bathroom are upstairs. The curtains in the granny's bedroom are very nice. There is also an old framed mirror in this room. When I was a little girl I thought it is magical. The toilet is next to kitchen on the ground floor.
