About Canterbury
Canterbury is a cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies in the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primate of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion. The city’s cathedral became a major focus of pilgrimage following the 1170 martyrdom of Thomas Becket. A journey of pilgrims to Becket’s shrine served as the frame for Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.
