Description: London: Scala, 2012. 28cm., pbk., 208pp., 197 illus., most in color. Summary: Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most important buildings in Britain and has attracted large numbers of pilgrims and tourists for centuries. It is also an extraordinary composite work of architecture that evolved over many centuries, incorporating an immense Romanesque crypt, the quire rebuilt in French Gothic style, a 14th-century nave that is one of the finest surviving examples of English Perpendicular Gothic, the 15th-century Bell Harry Tower and the remarkable late Gothic fan vaulting above the nave crossing. Now Jonathan Foyle, one of the UK’s best-known buildings historians, explores the architectural history of this masterpiece. Published with the full cooperation of Canterbury Cathedral, the book is illustrated with specially commissioned photographs, as well as drawing on the cathedral’s own archive of illustrations. It also features a number of the author’s photographs and fine drawings.
