Seven programmes with Malcolm Billings 5: The Great Hall of the Archbishop's Palace at Canterbury
Archbishop Hubert Walter began the Great Hall at the end of the 12th century and Archbishop Langton completed it by July 1220, when the Palace was visited by a number of important guests for the Translation of the body of St Thomas a Becket to the new shrine in the Cathedral. Never before the subject of detailed study, the Great Hall has now been excavated for the first time.
