Canterbury Cathedral

We found Canterbury very impressive - much more interesting and impressive than Stratford- on-Avon. It was crowded, but not nearly so crowded as Stratford, and there was more to see. The town was very clean.

Canterbury Cathedral is really magnificent. I usually find the touring of old churches and museums less than exciting, but this one impressed me very much. There is a carved wooden pulpit in the nave, and a large number of sculptures and paintings around the Cathedral. There are many nice stained glass windows, particularly the ones in the southeast transept. They have the most vivid colors that I have seen in stained glass. May 27, 1967
