Founded by St Augustine in 597 AD, Canterbury Cathedral is a unique place of workshops, a major pilgrimage destination, a masterpiece of art and architecture and one of the UKs most visited historic sites.

Every stone and stained-glass window is shaped to give glory to Christ whose name is given to this metropolitical cathedral church. St Augustine was sent here by Pope Gregory the Great as a Christian missionary in 597. He discovered indigenous Christians and worked with them to establish a larger Christian community. In time this became the principal seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury who now leads the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion.
