Founded in 597, Canterbury Cathedral in England was built in 1070 and 1077 and was enlarged in the 12th century.
It was largely rebuilt in the Gothic style after a fire in 1174.
Many know the Cathedral as the place where Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170.
To stand in this building and look at the ceilings is like looking into history. Though the building has been partly renovated and added to, its structure is weak due to weathering and age.
During 2008, half a million pounds was spent on the roof alone to prevent more leeks. To have all the renovation work done it is expected to cost over 25 million pounds. Definitely worth saving.
