    About this ebook

    This work presents an incredible history of Canterbury, a cathedral city situated in the core of the City of Canterbury, Kent, England. The city's cathedral became a primary focus of pilgrimage after the 1170 martyrdom of Thomas Becket. It has ever since been a famous tourist spot and consistently one of the most visited cities in the United Kingdom. The writer included vivid illustrations of the areas that leave a long-lasting impact on the readers, and he entertained them with less-known facts and stories from history. In addition, the work also contains the biographies of the most famous people that lived there. Contents include: First View The Story of the Cathedral The Cathedral—Interior The Cathedral—Exterior Canterbury Pilgrims The Religious Other Shrines A Canterbury Roundabout Envoi Index
