Overview
The digital archive contains the four 3D model 'scenes' detailing Canterbury Cathedral in roughly 1408 that were developed during the project:
- The Trinity Chapel - the site of St Thomas Becket's shrine.
- The Corona Chapel - a small circular chapel at the far eastern end of the cathedral.
- The Martyrdom - the place of St Thomas Becket's martyrdom, which had significance to visiting pilgrims and held special services (often at night).
- The Eastern Crypt area - the tomb of St Thomas Becket was located here, and was a focus for pilgrims who had physical and mental disabilities.
Each building has been supplied as an OBJ wireframe, compatible with many common 3D visualisation platforms. Due to the proprietary nature of many of the textures used within the models for output, textures have not been supplied.
The modelling was undertaken for public dissemination purposes rather than conservation or preservation record. The models were constructed from plan and elevation records rather than digital survey data. Whilst retaining a good level of accuracy, the models should not therefore be used as preservation record or as the basis for spatially-accurate study.
