Current developments
In recent months new files and web pages have been added covering Hambrook history, the county borough boundary stones , stonework in the Kent War Memorial garden, and the work of the Canterbury Archaeological Trust in relation to Saint Eanswythe.
There have also been updates to pages covering the cathedral organ, details of grants awarded in 2020, and a new page with links to all the interesting cathedral podcasts.
Also, for anyone who missed the previous update, there are extensive new pages on Cathedral building stones (with many thanks to Geoff Downer). For over 30 building stones, this new Section provides descriptions of the stones, examples of where to find them in the cathedral, and an A/Z index of memorials. Those pages were released for public viewing at end March 2020.
