Canterbury?
It's the destination for Chaucer's pilgrims
Someone asked for answers to quite a chunk of the quiz it seems on here. The answer given was Canterbury but I haven't checked it.

Canterbury
This is the name given to a low open stand with divisions, a drawer beneath and short legs, for holding music. They were made in mahogany from about 1800, and later in rosewood and walnut. No one knows how they got their name, but it is assumed that one was designed in the first instance for an Archbishop of Canterbury. They are very popular nowadays, not always for holding sheet music but for newspapers.
