At the heart of this volume lies a discussion of Canterbury and its outstanding Cathedral, site of St Thomas a Becket's shrine and significant in countless ways for the history of medieval art and architecture but especially memorable for its stunning stained glass.

The buildings of Kent.
ACRISE ST MARTIN. Nave and lower chancel. Shingled W spirelet. The S wall of the chancel tells most. Norman walling of coursed boulder flints, and the outlines of a doorway and a window.
