The ancient city of Canterbury is in the north of Kent; the population is around 50,000.
The name ‘Canterbury’ is said to come from an old English word ‘Cantwareburh’, meaning ‘Kent’s people’s stronghold’. The Archbishop Of Canterbury is the head of the Church Of England, and this dates back to the founding of an Episcopal seen by St Augustine in 597 AD.
In 1348 the Black Death hit the city hard, bringing it’s population down from 10,000 to 3,000. During the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381, the Earl of Sudbury was captured during prayer and taken to London where he was beheaded. He is still remembered in the city.
As Canterbury is so close to the southern coasts, the city was hit badly by air raids during the first and second World Wars, and in 1917 a German bomber crash landed in the city, near Broad Oak Road.
In 1980 the city had a visit from both Queen Elizabeth II and Pope John Paul II, leading to the Canterbury Festival.
Canterbury has around 5,000 registered businesses.
