Queen Elizabeth On Tour – Talk and Afternoon Tea – Tuesday 7th July
In this illustrated talk, Cressida Williams, Cathedral Archivist, will discuss the fortnight-long stay of Elizabeth I in Canterbury in the summer of 1573. This was a momentous event in the history of the Cathedral and city. The Queen attended the Cathedral for worship and Archbishop Matthew Parker held a lavish 40th birthday banquet.
