EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate plan of the water supply system to Canterbury Cathedral, dating back to around 1150. The cathedral complex, a symbol of religious devotion and architectural grandeur, relied on five springs located outside the city to provide its much-needed water supply. The red lines depicted on the plan represent the network of water pipes that transported this vital resource throughout the cathedral grounds. These pipes were an engineering marvel for their time, a testament to human ingenuity in medieval England. At the top right corner of the image, we can observe fish ponds carefully integrated into this comprehensive water management system. These ponds not only served as sources for fresh fish but also added aesthetic beauty to Canterbury Cathedral's surroundings. The Eadwine Psalter is credited with preserving this valuable historical document. As a manuscript deeply rooted in religious significance, it highlights how faith played an integral role in shaping society during this period. This remarkable print allows us to delve into Britain's rich past and explore both its engineering achievements and spiritual heritage. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and dedication in creating sustainable systems that supported their way of life within their geographical context.
