Description
Now reissued in paperback, this critical study of the cathedral church of Canterbury, of its archbishops and of the community, from its foundation in AD 598 to the Norman Conquest is based on liturgical, art-historical, numismatic, architectural and archaeological evidence. An attempt is made throughout to understand the early history of the church without misleading interpretations and myths created by post-Conquest writers.
