Open Homes workspaceAbout Canterbury
Canterbury is one of England's most historic cities, the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the centre of English Christianity since St Augustine's mission in 597. Its cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the scene of the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170 and became one of medieval Europe's greatest pilgrimage destinations, immortalised in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. With Roman and medieval walls and three universities, Canterbury has a strong student and heritage-driven rental market in Kent.
