Late English Gothic Style of Vaulting

Canterbury Cathedral, Kent
Canterbury Castle has a great importance in English history. For instance, it was the place where Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170 which became a pivotal moment. Later, Becket’s death and his subsequent miracles turned Canterbury Cathedral into a pilgrimage site in Europe.

The cathedral was rebuilt between 1070- 1077, and renovations continued until 1834. The nave and the transepts were rebuilt in perpendicular style between the late 14th and the mid-15th century.
