About This Book

The text presents a compact guide to the cathedral at Canterbury, combining a chronological history of its successive churches with a careful architectural description of the surviving fabric. It traces the building's development over many centuries, then surveys exterior elements and precincts—towers, gates, cloisters, and monastic buildings—and gives room-by-room accounts of interior features such as the nave, central tower, choir, screens, chapels, crypts, and important tombs and shrines. Plates, plans, and documentary references support discussions of ornament, restoration, and the institutional history of the archiepiscopal see.
