More Canterbury Cathedral

Medieval painting on wall showing the
life of St. Eustace



















Detail; apparently St. Eustace was converted after having a
vision of Christ crucified on the antlers of a deer; the Lord
works in mysterious ways...
















Beautiful blue window


















The Canterbury Pilgrims window: Chaucer's agent saw this
in 1277 and dashed off the following note: "Jeff: how about
pilgrims on their way from London to Canterbury? Could
be a vehicle for your short stories; cross-section of society
...what do you think?"














The Black Prince, a personal favorite
















Set up for event the next morning; where's the most
 important guy sit? (or possibly the tallest?)













































In addition to the items depicted here, we also visited the crypt (no pix), which was quite interesting.
