Canterbury Tales



Canterbury Cathedral, the central location for the Church of England.






The Pulpit, all carved oak, is large, heavy looking and incredibly intricate.








In medieval times, Royals and persons of importance were burried within the cathedrals.






This is the area in the cathedral, to the left of the main altar area, where St. Thomas Becket is believed to have been murdered by four knights. Pope John Paul II and the current Archbishop of Canterbury, knelt and prayed together here.
