The major spot in Canterbury that took up most of my time was the Canterbury Cathedral. As I said in the last post, the main Church to Christ built by St.Augustine in 7th C CE. However the beginnings of the current structure was in 1070 CE by the Normans. A major fire broke out in 1174 CE and the Cathedral was vastly expanded soon after that and improvisations continued till 1871 CE.
The branched out pillars led to the circular opening above. Just the central circle has a diameter of 2m, so you can imagine the sheer magnanimous size of the structure! This tower was built in 1494 CE. Then I turned around to see the elaborately sculpted screen which is carved out of stone here!!!
