位于肯特郡的坎特伯雷大教堂是近500年来英国大教堂的精神领袖,坎特伯雷的其他重要建筑有圣奥古斯汀教堂,它是英国最古老的教堂之一;还有圣马丁教堂的遗迹,圣马丁教堂从公元597年就在基督教传教中担负着十分重要的角色,它巧妙地融合了罗马式风格和直角哥特式风格。贝克特大主教于1170年在此地被暗杀。
Canterbury, in Kent, has been the seat of the spiritual head of the Church of England for nearly five centuries. Canterbury's other important monuments are the modest Church of St Martin, the oldest church in England; the ruins of the Abbey of St Augustine, a reminder of the saint's evangelizing role in the Heptarchy from 597; and Christ Church Cathedral, a breathtaking mixture of Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic, where Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170.
