North side Roundel Groups

 

 

On a visit to Canterbury Cathedral in July 2007 what should we spy but four sets of large roundels (36 individual ones in all) arrayed on either side of the Trinity Chapel.  Looked like another old Zodiac / monthly activity job.  Returning a few weeks later, we managed to obtain a plan and description of all the roundels plus of course photos of them all.  Some of these are shown below.
