Chaucer's Canterbury, 1400

Canterbury in 1400 is England's chief pilgrim city, its cathedral precinct dominated by a newly rising nave while hostelries and badge-sellers swell the streets. The walk shows the city from the Stour approach, through its rebuilt walls and bustling markets, past St Augustine's Abbey, and up to a high viewpoint that takes in the cathedral and the river.

33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Canterbury as it stood in 1400 (“Canterbury”).
