Hartley Withers’s guide to Canterbury Cathedral describes the fabric and history of the mother church of English Christianity — the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury and one of the most important medieval buildings in the world. From the Norman choir to the stunning Gothic nave, from the site of Thomas Becket’s martyrdom to the Black Prince’s tomb, Canterbury is a building of extraordinary historical depth.
This volume covers the cathedral’s architectural development across the centuries and the history of the archiepiscopal see from Augustine’s mission in 597 AD. Download the free EPUB for a richly detailed architectural and historical guide to England’s most sacred building.
