  View of the interior of The Great Cloisters, Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England   The Great Cloisters built around 1400. This is one side of the four-sided square.

The fan tracery of the roof can be clearly seen here.

Bosses on the ceiling of the Cloisters display the arms of individuals who donated money to the construction and decoration of the Cathedral. These decorations were mostly put in place during the fifteenth century.
