Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Peter's Anglican Church, Canterbury
Heritage Open Day: Medieval Church on the foundations of a Roman church. One of only two Anglican churches within the city walls still used for public worship. The church is thought to stand on the site of a church built for the local Christian community in Roman times. It was rebuilt on its original site, which is just off the main street in Canterbury. It was rebuilt by St Augustine and his monks in Anglo-Saxon days. Evidence of its early origins can be seen in the tower, which incorporates Roman tiles, and Anglo-Saxon quoins or cornerstones. The tower in its present form dates from c.1100 and houses four ancient church bells, cast between c. 1325 and c. 1599. In 1448, King Henry VI established the Mayoralty of Canterbury, from which date all the names of the Mayoralty are recorded.
