Focus On Property in Canterbury, Kent Posted on May 16th
HOW IT RATES This ancient city in eastern Kent has played a significant part
in the religious, royal and literary history of England. St Augustine, sent
by Pope Gregory the Great, established his seat in Canterbury in AD597. The
slaying of St Thomas à Becket took place at the cathedral; the event
inspired T.S.Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral. Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales is
one of the earliest books in the English language, and the city was also the
birthplace of the Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe. It is now a
vibrant university city with a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful medieval
architectural setting.
