This is the mother church of
Anglicism. As you enter, nothing prepares you for her lofty grace. When we are
asked “Which is your favourite cathedral?”
‘Canterbury’ is a tempting
answer.
The early Gothic quire’s timorous
transition from the Romanesque is hard to detect. Work here began in earnest
after Becket’s martyrdom; the subsequent veneration of Becket made the
cathedral a place of pilgrimage and attracted wealth as a result.
