    That’s St Augustine’s Abbey in Canterbury; the destroyed tombs of pre-Tudor archbishops (including St Theodore of Tarsus) were once located where the open roof cover is at right. The cathedral is way in the background.

    Note to readers: the pic you see is of the ruins of St Augustine’s Monastery, across the road from the cathedral itself.
