Walking to town from the train station. Passing West Gate the only remaining gate of the old city wall.

Turning left onto Mercery lane shows Christchurch gate (1517) and the towers of Canterbury Cathedral beyond.

We reserved the only room facing the cathedral court.

Canterbury Cathedral built mostly in the 11th and 12th centuries from the soutwest at ground level.

The southwest porch covered, like the rest of the western facade, with statues. The public entry for walking about the interior of the cathedral.

Within the nave: the font.
