Royal Canterbury: Crown, Cathedral and City Through the Ages – Monday 7th October

View our new exhibition ‘Celebrations and Ceremonies: City, Cathedral and Crown’, featuring objects that will bring to life some of the stories from the history of Canterbury and the Cathedral, and their royal connections.
