The Flying Buttress of Canterbury Cathedral is a key architectural feature that supports the structure by transferring lateral thrust to exterior piers, allowing for a taller nave. Unlike the dramatic expression of flying buttresses in French Gothic cathedrals, the English approach at Canterbury is more restrained, emphasizing stability and permanence. This design reflects British character, prioritizing authority and institutional strength over theatricality.
