Building recording helps vital restorations for Christ Church Gate, Canterbury Cathedral
Christ Church Gate, a Grade I listed building, was analysed, and recorded in some detail by the Trust in anticipation of its restoration. The gate, completed c 1520, forms the main entrance into the cathedral precincts and is one of Canterbury’s most celebrated and photographed buildings. A watching brief, was maintained by the Trust and formed part of the works, in order that any new evidence for the construction and development of the gate, that might be revealed, could be recorded. Restoration has now been completed and is on display to the public. For more information go to www.canterburytrust.co.uk/post/ christchurch-gate
