| Canterbury Ornamental Chess Set | Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in England and it was the gothic architecture and statuary that inspired the skilled craftsmen at SAC (Studio Anne Carlton) to create this Canterbury Cathedral ornamental chess set. One in a series of themed chess sets such as Lord of the Rings and The White Tower each chess piece is hand painted and therefore unique making them highly sought after collectibles.
A place of Christian worship for nearly two thousand years Canterbury Cathedral suffered a major fire in 1174 and the present Gothic Cathedral, the first of its kind in England, was created using the revenue raised from visiting pilgrims and is still one of the noblest churches in Christendom today.
