Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine's Abbey and St
Martin's Church in Kent
Designated a World Heritage Site in 1988.
Canterbury Cathedral was founded in AD597 (that's over 1,400 years ago!) and is the Mother
Church of the Anglican Communion. It has a perpendicular nave, 12th-century Gothic choir,
stunning stained glass windows that fill the church with colour and a Romanesque crypt.
Another important church is the Church of St Martin just outside the city's medieval wall, half
of which survives today. Probably built as a Roman church in the 4th century, St Martin is the
oldest church in England that's still in use as a parish church.
