  Christ Church Gate
by grkboiler
 
 

The Christ Church Gate separates the Canterbury Cathedral grounds from town. It is very beautifully carved and one of the highlights of walking through the town. The gate was completed in about 1517. The sculpture of Christ in the middle is not an original. The original was torn down and smashed by a Puritan fanatic in the 1600's.

Directions: Outside of the Cathedral to the south
