Alas, alas and thrice alas. Canterbury Cathedral is probably the most important Cathedral in the country. It is the residence of the most senior Archbishop of the Anglican communion. The Cathedral is steeped in history and tradion. You would expect to find a host of treasure in the form of specialists writings and pictures and music. You would expect a real celebration of the Christian faith in Canterbury. Instead you enter a festival of expensive tat. Fifty percent of the merchandise has nothing to do with Canterbury or religion. If you need a ceramic guinea pig or an overpriced tin of biscuits then you have found your shop.
