A History of Canterbury CathedralPatrick Collinson, Nigel Ramsay, Margaret Sparks * Full history of Britain's greatest cathedral from its Anglo-Saxon origins to the late twentieth century* Beautifully illustrated throughout* Includes the initial findings of important new excavations carried out in 1993 Seven chronological chapters cover the history of Canterbury Cathedral from 597 to the present, while a further five thematic chapters discuss the Archives and Library, the liturgy and music, the monuments within the Cathedral, and the Cathedral School. Through all the chapters runs a continuous theme: the people who have, over the centuries, made up the community of the Cathedral and have continued the tradition of Christian worship there for more than a thousand years. This is a major work of wide-ranging and original scholarship; it is also a full and highly readable history, extensively illustrated with over 160 plates and figures. |
