	Canterbury Cathedral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Though perhaps not as famous as Westminster Abbey, in the middle ages the Cathedral of Canterbury was the seat of the most powerful archbishop in England (despite the constant challenges from the Archbishops of York).

		It is this characteristic that is unmistakenly Perpindicular, and distinguishes Canterbury from earlier Norman cathedral architecture.
