Abstract

This article explores the relationship between architecture and political culture in the Palace of Westminster from 1399 to the present day. Drawing on the research of the AHRC-funded St Stephen's Chapel and Listening to the Commons projects, it addresses four research themes: the architecture of the Commons and Lords chambers from the medieval period to the present; access to political space at Westminster, focusing in particular on the experience of women before the extension of the franchise; the acoustics of parliamentary space, drawing on fieldwork at Westminster as well as archival research; and questions of parliamentary ceremony, ritual and space in long historical perspective.
