Canterbury Cathedral

Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest Christian buildings in England - it was consecrated in 1070. Here is the most important collection of early medieval stained glass in the country, including one of the oldest, known as "Adam delving". In the crypt located in the chapel of St. Gabriel can be seen the oldest Christian frescoes in England. The cathedral has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

In the chapel of St. The Trinity's stained glass windows depict miracles that were to take place after the assassination of Thomas Becket (he was murdered in the Canterbury Cathedral). There is also a 13th-century ceremonial enthronement chair of Archbishop Canterbury, made of marble.

Rebuilt after the fire in 1174, the choir was the first Gothic building in England. During its construction, the chief architect, William of Sens, fell from the scaffolding during the roof inspection. His young assistant, known as William the Englishman, completed the construction work.
