Foyle, an architectural historian, curator, writer, and broadcaster, describes the history and architecture of Canterbury Cathedral in England. He details its origins as Augustine's archiepiscopate in 597, the Norman building, the early Gothic cathedral, changes during the later Medieval era, and the building from the Tudor Age to the twentieth century, as well as the conservation program since 1945 (in a chapter by an additional contributor). Included are many color photos by Robert Greshoff, archival illustrations, and the author's drawings. Distributed in North America by ACC Distribution.
