Great Cloister. A Lost Canterbury Tale is the first comprehensive and complete historical study of the important national monument that is the Canterbury cathedral cloister. It aims to answer the questions of why, when, and for whom each of the 856 original heradic shields was placed here. The lost roll of donors has been recreated, thus reconnecting a masterpiece of medieval art and architecture with the story of its times. It provides a window on the dramatic reign of King Henry IV from the perspective of many different individuals. The origins and rationale for each shield design have been considered, thereby taking the time frame back from the fifteen, to the twelfth century, when heraldry began. Each unique shield is illustrated in colour. Book jacket.

The Canterbury Tales Geoffrey Chaucer The Canterbury Tales (Middle English: Tales of Caunterbury) is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387-1400. In 1386, Chaucer became Controller of Customs and Justice of Peace and, three years later, Clerk of the King's work in 1389. It was during these years that Chaucer began working on his most famous text, The Canterbury Tales. The tales (mostly written in verse, although some are in prose) are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return.
