| At the furthest extent of the precinct from the gatehouse is the so-called Norman Staircase. This covered staircase is one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in the city. It was built around 1153 and led to a Poor Pilgrim's Hall, where pilgrims visiting the cathedral could find free lodging. The staircase is now part of King's School.Canterbury Cathedral England,August 1st 2016 |
