Saturday found us in
Canterbury on a lovely, clear day. The Boy had never been to the
cathedral, so we popped in to have a look. You can find lots and lots of amazing snaps online, so here are just a few things that caught my eye.
I've always loved this figure of Christ on the gatehouse to the cathedral precinct.
I'm not sure what these creatures are on one of the cathedral doorways, but I like them.
This candle burns on the spot where
St Thomas a Becket's shrine was, until it was destroyed on the orders of Henry VIII., who also
'unsainted' him for good measure.
I was rather taken by the altar front...
...and
restored painting.
Intrigued by this
weekly service...
...and left wondering how many memorials record death by 'an assassin'?
