セント・マーティンズ教会は、英語圏で最も古い教会であり、カンタベリー大聖堂の母教会と呼ばれています。 聖歌隊席は、ローマ時代の石積みが残る教会で最も古い部分であり、ローマ帝国時代に遡るか、5世紀半ばに回収されたレンガで建てられた可能性があります。 この教会は、6世紀後半に、キリスト教徒であったフランス人の婚約者バーサに、異教徒のケント王エゼルバートによって礼拝の場として寄贈されました。 西暦595年、グレゴリウス教皇は、イングランドの住民を改宗させるために、アウグスティヌスと修道士の一団を派遣しました。西暦597年にアウグスティヌスが到着すると、エゼルバートは彼らにセント・マーティンズ教会での礼拝を許可しました。 まもなく、エゼルバートはアウグスティヌスによってここでキリスト教徒に改宗しました。アウグスティヌスは、最初のセント・オーガスティンズ修道院とカンタベリー大聖堂を設立する前に、セント・マーティンズ教会に宣教拠点を築きました。

Canterbury city centre is a historic, compact medieval city with its famous cathedral, surrounded by ancient city walls, offering many pedestrian zones and historic landmarks such as the Westgate Towers; it is a vibrant mix of well-known shopping brands, independent boutiques, pubs, restaurants and historic sites such as St. Augustine's Abbey and the oldest church in the world, St. Martin's Church.

The Old Weavers' House in Canterbury is a famous timber-framed building on the River Stour, named after Flemish and Huguenot refugees of the 16th and 17th centuries who brought weaving skills with them. The building itself, however, has foundations dating back to the 12th century and significant structures from the 14th century and later from the Tudor/Jacobin period, which housed weaving workshops and even a squat for punishing quarrelsome women. It has survived centuries of change and war. The Old Weavers' House is one of Canterbury's most photographed buildings and embodies the city's medieval architecture and its rich history of immigrant communities and public punishments along the picturesque River Stour.

The crypt of Canterbury Cathedral is the oldest part of the structure, with roots in the 11th century, and today houses an impressive collection of columns, arches, and tombs, including the remains of Archbishop Thomas Becket, making it an important pilgrimage site. It also bears witness to the destruction during the Reformation, but today it is a quiet, venerable place of prayer and reflection beneath the choir and the Trinity Chapel. It is also a testament to the destruction during the Reformation, but today it is a quiet, venerable place of prayer and reflection.
