Summary
| Description |
English: Floor tile to Hooke in Westminster Abbey:
Eddie Smith, former Undermaster and archivist at Westminster School, worked tirelessly on Hooke's behalf to get him a small memorial in Westminster Abbey. The work took years but eventually in 2005 one was unveiled. The inscription reads 'Robert Hooke 1703' and is carved from one of the black marble tiles in the floor beneath the Lantern, near the pulpit. This is most appropriate as Hooke was responsible for the laying of this floor. |
