It is often stated that Elizabeth lay in state in the beautiful Norman chapel of St. John the Evangelist, the chapel used by the monarch when in residence in the Tower. Dating from ca. 107880, it rises through two floors of the upper levels of the White Tower, the ancient keep. Its sanctuary and nave are encircled by Romanesque arches, a continuous ambulatory, and flanking aisles. It is a rare survival, one of the most perfect Norman chapels still in existence. However, The Great Chronicle of London clearly states that Elizabeth lay in state in "the parish church of the Tower," which is St. Peter ad Vincula, where her daughter had been christened just eight days earlier. It would make sense that St. Peter"s was chosen, given the logistics of carrying the coffin up and down the spiral stairs to St. John"s Chapel.

It has been suggested that she was buried with her mother (Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales); if so, she was left undisturbed in Elizabeth"s temporary grave (described further on in the chapter), for her coffin was not found in Henry VII"s vault, and the anthropoid coffin of the Queen could not have accommodated the corpse of an infant.
