Методом проб и ошибок поняла, что жизнь, как ее не верти, не изменишь, пока не смиришься, а потом она сама станет такой, какой ты хотела. И людей не стоит менять, они такие, какими они должны быть. Надо самой меняться, тк недостатки, которые вижу в людях, есть во мне.
Тк день СК, то один из самых красивых архетиктурных памятников Canterbury CathedralCanterbury Cathedral's nave and south west transept were the scene of a major project by the Canterbury Archaeological Trust between 4th January and 29th April 1993 Excavations, in advance of re-flooring and the insertion of a new heating system, were conducted on behalf of the Dean and Chapter revealing a most remarkable sequence of structures.
Excavation was restricted largely to the removal of eighteenth century deposits, laid down after the removal of most of the burials before the laying of a new floor in 1786.
Romano-British deposits
Only limited traces of Romano-British layers were recorded, but sufficient to indicate a 3.5 m wide pebbled street running north-east/south-west beneath the cathedral. Fronting onto the street were timber-framed buildings and a masonry structure, as yet undated. The building reported by Frank Jenkins to the south of the cathedral (Jenkins 1990) may also have fronted onto this street, and is undoubtedly also of Romano-British date.
Anglo-Saxon Cathedral
The Anglo-Saxon Cathedral By far the most important find was the remains of the Anglo-Saxon cathedral, just 0.20m below the 1786 floor. The remains may be divided into four main phases. The earliest, Phase I, is represented by narrow wall foundations at the east end of the nave. These foundations cut into post Roman `dark earth' deposits which sealed the Romano British deposits. They may well be part of the original church of St Augustine constructed soon after his arrival in A.D. 597, which comprised a nave with possible narthex to the west and porticus to the north and south. The foundations were of re-used Roman stone with mortared stone and Roman bricks above. The plan and scale of the building are similar to the early church of St Peter and St Paul at St Augustine's Abbey (Sparks 1990, 8).
Phase II consisted of a partly subterranean masonry structure with a tile floor 1.2 m. below contemporary ground surface and walls rendered in opus signinum. Situated to the south-west of the Phase I foundations, it may have been an addition since it overlay an earlier wall. Its function remains uncertain, but it might have been a mausoleum.
During the ninth or tenth century the early church was demolished and a larger structure (49 m. by 23 m.) was built with a squared end (Phase III). This building had substantial aisle foundations. An integral grave was found constructed in the north aisle close to the west end. The location of a central square tower was indicated by two cross walls and a 3 m. wide foundation on the south side It is tempting to ascribe this phase to Archbishop Wulfed (805-32), and a subsequent rebuild, marked by an offset tile course on the south wall, to Archbishop Oda (942-58).
The next phase (Phase IV) saw the demolition of the squared western end and its replacement with a major west-work (the Oratory of St Mary). A substantial part of this west-work was uncovered in the excavations, in the form of a deep polygonal apse with flanking hexagonal stair-towers. The Archbishop's cathedra or throne would have been sited to the rear of the apse with the altar to the Virgin set in front, towards the nave. At the same time the arcade walls were strengthened and towers added to the eastern corners - one of which was located in the south-west transept, and may be the tower of St Gregory (Brooks 1984, 39). These remains may have been built by Archbishops Lyfing (1013-20) or Жthelnoth (1020-38) after a Danish army, led by Thorkell the Tall and his brother Hemming, plundered and burnt the city and cathedral in 1011 (Woodman 1981, 15). Parallels for Phase IV are to be found in the Ottonian Romanesque churches of the tenth and eleventh centuries in France, Germany and Switzerland.
The excavated remains of Phase IV measured 58.5m by 30m. However, the cathedral was `bi-polar' having both eastern and western apses. It may, therefore, be postulated that to the east the excavated area was a large ring crypt, possibly housing the remains of St Dunstan. The original church may have been around 75 m. in length, bringing the east end close to the fragments of masonry found below the crypt floor in 1895 (Strik 1982, fig 3). Undoubtedly the cathedral in the early years of the eleventh century would have ranked among the largest in Northern Europe.
