There is one in Salisbury Cathedral that was carried against us in the American Revolution. There is almost nothing left of it. It's mostly the outer seams and other outline seams. My understanding is in England once a battle flag is hung in a cathedral it is NEVER taken down. It hangs until it completely disintegrates. Some of the cathedrals and churches there are history lessons. The memorials tell many stories. One that floored me is in Westminster Abbey. As an American you just don't expect to see a memorial to Major John Andre in a place of high honor. To the English he is, of course, a hero.
