Canterbury Cathedral.
"Of all our cathedrals none is of such
absorbing interest as Canterbury. It is vast in scale: the problems
presented by the incorporation of fragments of its predecessors are
fascinating to the antiquary; its eastern limb as set out in the
eleventh century changed the whole direction of English church
planning; its twelfth-century successor introduced into England
important features of the Gothic architecture of France; and laid
the foundations of the south eastern school of English Gothic : in
spite of much destruction its walls yet hold a wealth of noble
monuments, unequalled except at Westminster."
