Canterbury Cathedral
Canterbury Cathedral has a tradition of visitor welcome that
reaches back to the days of medieval pilgrimages. St Augustine,
sent by Pope Gregory the Great, arrived in 597 AD and became the
first Archbishop, establishing his seat 'Cathedra' in Canterbury.
In 1170 Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in the Cathedral and
ever since, the Cathedral has attracted thousands of pilgrims. The
Cathedral houses the most important collection of medieval stained
glass windows in the country.
