When Lanfranc came to Canterbury the Cathedral and Monastery were in ruins. He was nearly 70 when he became Archbishop and he had 19 very fruitful years. When he died in 1089 he had completely rebuilt the Cathedral and Monastery and won back purloined land and incomes. He appears in miniature on the goblet in alternating frames based on two stained glass windows from the Cathedral’s Trinity Chapel. He is in the company of St Augustine, the founder; St Thomas Becket, martyred in the Cathedral; the Black Prince who is buried there and William the Conqueror who Lanfranc served loyally. The sixth figure has no name– a medieval pilgrim, representative of the myriad pilgrims who made their way to Canterbury and the shrine of St Thomas.
Goblet number 1 was presented to HRH The Queen by the Chapter of Canterbury

In a promotional letter dated 24th May 1978 the Lord Mayor, Air Commodore The Honourable Sir Peter Vanneck wrote: ‘One hundred years ago, the city of London won a long, hard and very important battle. It was fought specifically to save Epping Forest but its implications were much wider. The Epping Forest Act of 1878 proved a turning point in the sad story of the depredation of England’s common lands and was a major early victory for the forces of conservation’.

The first goblet was presented to the Queen by the Garter King of Arms.
The 3 Lion's rampant holding shields support the bowl of the goblet. In true heraldic fashion, each is sculptured to look 'more like a lion than did ever any lion of nature' but each is distinguished from the other two. Her Majesty the Queen's, which holds the Royal Arms, is crowned. Richard III's is unadorned in the early royal fashion and holds the Royal Arms of his time, those of France and England combined. The shield of the College of Arms is held by one of its lion supporters, engorged with a coronet.

The four candleholders surmount a crowned, rampant lion, the royal and national symbol of England, whose origin lies in Richard the Lionheart’s choice of golden lions for his alms. The lion proffers St. Edward’s Crown, so named because, in origin, it was the Confessor’s own, preserved by the Abbey and is now the Coronation Crown, The lion’s left paw is supported by a shield bearing a cross and five martlets: the arms of St. Edward, which are incorporated in those of the Abbey. The shape of the foot, with its twenty five gilt flutes, is reminiscent of the fab vaulting of the Henry VII chapel, the Abbey’s most wonderful architectural feature.

Before starting the rebuilding of St Paul’s following the Great Fire, Christopher Wren stood on the empty site and called for a stone to mark the centre of the new building. A workman pulled a fragment of an old gravestone from the rubble and handed it to him: it was inscribed ‘Resurgem’ - ‘I shall rise again’. It had already been rebuilt three times and now for the fourth, like a phoenix from the ashes. Over the great south door of the completed cathedral stands the carved phoenix which he placed there, above the solitary word ‘Resurgem’.
