Southwest Porch of Canterbury Cathedral - Canterbury, England, UK - Gargoyles and Chimeras on Waymarking.com

The southwest porch to Canterbury Cathedral is the main visitor's entrance. Visitors are greeted from above with a couple of gargoyles that may have been used as water spouts at one time. It does not appear they are being used as such today.

The history of Canterbury Cathedral is long and deep.

The current building began construction in 1070 to replace an earlier church. Since then it has been damaged many times during wars, but it has always been repaired and added upon as well. The most recent addition occured in the 1830's.

Because it is hard to summarize nearly 1,000 years of history in such a short space, please visit the provided links to get a full understanding of the architecture and history of this place.

Water spout is used: yes Condition: Lightly Weathered
