Queen Elizabeths Gest Chamber


Although there is no evidence that Queen Elizabeth stayed in this place the rumour is that she did, hence its name.
It is an old building and the wood and plaster work is outstanding.

Westgate Towers


Dear readers

I must apologise to you for failing to show you one of the most important buildings of Canterbury.
The Westgate Towers is part of the wall that once surrounded Canterbury. The gate was built 1380 by Archbishop Sudbury and for many years it was a prison.

Today the towers house a museum worth visiting if you are around.
