Nave of Canterbury Cathedral
Canterbury Cathedral, the Nave of the Cathedral
The nave of the Cathedral is built in the Perpendicular style, which uses soaring arches to draw the eye upwards towards the central crossing at the eastern end.
Perhaps the best known of all the archbishops of Canterbury is Thomas Becket, who was murdered in the cathedral on 29 December 1170, after falling foul of Henry II.
