As the source of Christianity in England, and the centre of the world-wide Anglican church,
Canterbury needs no introduction. We were provided with good weather and a pleasant symphony for our pilgrimage in late 2007.

St. Martin's church reputedly contains Saxon or even Roman construction. The castle is Norman,
and forms part of the city wall, of which a significant part remains. |

The King's School occupies parts of the cathedral precincts and parts of what was once St. Augustine's Abbey. It was
St. Augustine who brought Christianity to this green and pleasant land. |

Of course the cathedral does not disappoint with everything from Norman to perpendicular gothic. |
