It is one of the world's great living churches, a place of prayer and worship for over 1400 years. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the mother church of the worldwide Anglican communion, and a work of supreme architectural beauty. It is the home of saints and martyrs, most famously Thomas Becket, and the focus of pilgrimage, as immortalised in Chaucer's \u003cem\u003eCanterbury Tales\u003c\/em\u003e. It is also a place of refuge and sanctuary, a centre of music, education and evangelism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis new, illustrated history is written with the full cooperation of the cathedral and its archives. Following the installation of the first-ever female Archbishop of Canterbury, it takes a fresh perspective and includes short profiles of key men and women involved in its long story, such as Elizabeth Barton, a visionary nun executed by Henry VIII for opposing his divorce, and Ervin Bossanyi, a refugee responsible for extraordinary modern stained-glass windows. The book is fully illustrated throughout with sparkling new photography taken since the completion of a major conservation programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67972775739628,"sku":"9781785516566","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781785516566-canterbury-cathedral-1.jpg?v=1793159006","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/canterbury-cathedral-by-jessica-hodge-9781785516566","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
