About Canterbury
- Canterbury Cathedral is the mother church of the worldwide Anglican Communion and one of the oldest and most important Christian sites in Britain — the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is the spiritual leader of the Church of England and the symbolic head of the Anglican churches worldwide. The cathedral was founded in 597 AD by St Augustine, who was sent to England by Pope Gregory the Great to convert the Anglo-Saxons, and the present building was begun by the Normans in 1070. The cathedral became the most important pilgrimage destination in medieval England after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in the cathedral in 1170 — an event so shocking that it drew pilgrims from across Europe, including Chaucer's fictional company in The Canterbury Tales, and transformed the cathedral into one of the wealthiest and most powerful religious institutions in the country.
- The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 1380s and 1390s, is the most important work of literature in Middle English and one of the founding texts of the English literary tradition. The poem describes a group of pilgrims travelling from the Tabard Inn in Southwark to the shrine of Thomas Becket at Canterbury, each telling stories to pass the time — a framing device that allowed Chaucer to explore an extraordinary range of genres, voices, and social types, from the Knight's chivalric romance to the Miller's bawdy fabliau. The Canterbury Tales established English as a literary language capable of the full range of human experience, and Chaucer's achievement in creating a vernacular literature of European quality from the unpromising material of Middle English is one of the great cultural accomplishments of the medieval period.
- St Augustine's Abbey, founded in 598 AD by St Augustine just outside the walls of the Roman city, was one of the most important monasteries in early medieval England — the burial place of the first Archbishops of Canterbury and of the early kings of Kent, and a centre of learning and manuscript production that helped preserve classical knowledge through the Dark Ages. The abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538 and the buildings were demolished or converted; the ruins that survive, which are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the cathedral and St Martin's Church, give some sense of the scale and ambition of the original complex. The three Canterbury World Heritage Sites together represent the most complete surviving record of the Christianisation of England.
