Buy Property in Canterbury
Canterbury lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local
government district of Kent, in South East England. It lies on the
River Stour.
Originally a Brythonic settlement, it was renamed Durovernum
Cantiacorum by the Roman conquerors in the first century AD. After
the Jutish settlement it became their chief settlement, whence it
gained its English name Canterbury, itself derived from the Old
English Cantwareburh ("Kent people's stronghold").
Many historical structures remain in the city, including a city wall
founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of
St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and perhaps the oldest
school in England, The King's School. Modern additions include the
University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the Marlowe
Theatre, and the St Lawrence Ground, home to Kent County Cricket
Club.
