ROYAL  

PURPLE PARA  

INTERIOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL.  

U/HILE the external delineaments of  

the Cathedral Church of Canterbury  

are familiar to most people in the Eng-  

lish-speaking world, it may be accepted  

comparatively few comprising the “grand  

total” have any idea of the internal  

arrangements of this, one of the most  

famed ecclesiastical structures in Christen-  

dom. Perhaps the view from the great  

western doors presented by the nave  

will convey some conception of the  

“splendour and glory” within the walls of  

this sacred edifice. The nave, as illus-  

trated, provides, so to speak, an epitome  

of architectural history. Archbishop Lan-  

franc, whom William the Conqueror  

made Archbishop of Canterbury, pulled  

down the Saxon Church and built an-  

other, the nave being of the same noble  

proportions as the present one. Towards  

the end of the fourteenth century it was  

found “Lanfranc’s Nave” was showing  

symptoms of decay; so it was pulled  

down and an appeal for funds for resto-  

ration issued by Archbishop Arundel,  

who gave 1000 marks, huge dona-  

tion in those days, and “five sweet-sound-  

ing bells,” from which the n.-w. tower  

is still known as the Arundel steeple.  

The new nave followed the exact lines of  

that of Lanfranc. His n.-w. tower was  

allowed to stand, and it was not until last  

century the beautiful Norman work was  

replaced by what the late Rev. Dr.  

Field described as “a feeble copy of the  

south-west tower.” In the nave one is  

conscious of the totally different feeling  

of the Perpendicular style from the  

Norman, as displayed in the crypt, and  

the Early English in the choir. Yet many  

prefer the elaborately fluted nave pillars,  

the delicate shafts springing from the  

floor and mounting to the clerestory. The  

many-ribbed nave roof is an artistic joy.  

Then there is the vast west window  

divided by transoms and the perpendicu-  

lar mullions, which gave the style its  

name. Also, too, are the small and grace-  

ful lancets which “look down” on wor-  

shippers from the east end. The won-  

derful and irreparable stained glass that  

filled so many windows, great and small,  

was wisely removed, for war conditions  

as interpreted by foes which neither fear  

nor love God or his temples have to be  

provided against.
