CORRECTIONS

In the Travellers’ Choice Awards presentation in the April/May issue, we mistakenly described Geoffrey Chaucer writing his Canterbury Tales “in the late 1400s.” A few alert readers pointed out that, as Chaucer died in 1400, this is very unlikely. True enough. What we meant to say, of course, was that he wrote his master work “in the late l4th century.” We also mistakenly mislabelled the winner and runner-up in two of the awards categories. St. Paul’s Cathedral was in fact the runner-up to York Minster in the Best Cathedral Interior category, and The British Museum Library was runnerup to The Victoria & Albert Museum in the Best Museums category.

Also in the April/May issue, we incorrectly attributed the History in Focus department to Karen Kenyon. The byline should have credited Katherine Bailey. We apologize for these errors.

Letters should be addressed to: The Editors, BRITISH HERITAGE, 6405 Flank Drive, Harrisburg, PA 17112-2753 USA.
