The Architectural History of Canterbury Cathedral, first published in 1981, offers a comprehensive exploration of the church's architectural journey, spanning from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. This remarkable work traces every significant era of English architecture, from the Norman Conquest to the magnificent Tudor age. A central focus of this study has been the reconstruction of the two Norman phases: Lanfrancs cathedral, constructed in 1070, and the grand choir of St. Anselm, initiated in 1096. Dr. Woodman presents fresh and thought-provoking perspectives on the architectural works of William of Sens, particularly his original designs for the new Gothic choir and Trinity Chapel.

The book delves into intricate details about the Perpendicular phases, providing a detailed account of the splendid pulpitum and undertaking an important reattribution and redating of this architectural masterpiece. Moreover, it offers a groundbreaking analysis of the precise areas of building completed by individual master masons, shedding light on the contributions of these skilled craftsmen. Through archaeological excavations and restoration work, Dr. Woodman uncovers previously invisible details that enrich our understanding of the cathedral's history.

This stimulating study is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in the fields of British architecture, architectural history, and architecture in general. It provides a deep and insightful exploration of Canterbury Cathedral's architectural evolution, offering a wealth of information and insights that will captivate readers for years to come.
