The Architectural History of Canterbury Cathedral

A groundbreaking analysis of Canterbury Cathedral's architectural evolution reveals new insights into its Norman and Perpendicular phases, challenging established narratives. The study introduces provocative theories about William of Sens' original Gothic choir designs and Trinity Chapel, alongside a reattribution and redating of the cathedral's pulpitum—a first-time exploration of these periods. By integrating archaeological evidence with restoration data, the research maps the contributions of individual master masons, uncovering details no longer visible today. This comprehensive study not only enriches our understanding of Canterbury Cathedral but also sets a new standard for architectural historiography in British heritage.
