The tomb of the Black Prince.
The tomb of Henry IV and his queen, Joan of Navarre.
Memorial to Thomas Becket. His tomb became a pilgrimage site after the 12th century, but it was destroyed by Henry VIII after the split with the catholic church.
Plaque from the Canterbury Roman Museum, made notable by its reference to Doctor Who. The museum was probably geared towards children, but it was still educational!
One of the gaudier exhibits in Canterbury--- an animatronic portrayal of Geoffrey Chaucer's iconic work. We decided to skip this, since it bore a disturbing resemblance to It's a Small World. Sorry, Mom--- not falling for THAT twice.

Hey, I was only 4 when I saw It's a Small World . . .seemed like a cool thing for a 4 year old back in the early sixties!
