We entered Canterbury Cathedral to hear the boys choir sing Evensong. btw, there is no charge to attend a service so this is a good way to experience what a church really means w/o wandering with a lot of other tourists. It was truly a beautiful service. The photo below shows where the shrine of St.Thomas Beckett was until Henry VIII decided otherwise. The candle marks the spot.
The knight is the Black Prince and there is a couple pondering his tomb.
The site of Thomas' martrydom is marked with the chilling swords.
No, you don't get to stay in the Cathedral House but the modern accomodations are right inside the Cathedral walls.

Gorgeous English photos. I lived in the UK for a few years but unfortunately didn't make it to Canterbury. Looks lovely!
