The Norman crypt is a half-story lower than the rest of the church. Built beneath the choir and High Altar, which was elevated, the crypt was used for worship and burials. The first part of the new Norman church to be built under Archbishop Saint Anselm at the turn of the twelfth century, it is elaborately decorated.
00:14:04
The Norman crypt under the High Altar looks east towards the Chapel of St Mary and the Angels. It was built at the same time as the choir, which was extended to give sufficient space for the greatly revived monastery in the late eleventh century. The crypt is the largest of its kind in England.
00:14:47
The north chapel of the crypt is dedicated to St Richard of Winchester in the foreground, with the Chapel of St. Pancras behind.

Canterbury is also the site of important ruins of a Norman castle keep and castle walls as well as one of the three original royal castles in Kent.
Canterbury Castle was established in the 1080s by the Normans and replaced an earlier motte and bailey fortification built at the nearby Dane John. The stone keep was largely constructed in the reign of Henry I in the early twelfth century. By the 13th century the castle had become the county jail.
00:15:42
The influence of the Benedictine abbey of Saint Augustine was decisive throughout the High Middle Ages in England. The influence of this monastic center and its scriptorium extended far beyond the boundaries of Kent and Northumbria.
The oldest Benedictine communities in England belong to the Benedictine Order, which takes its name from the set of laws that governs member communities, the Rule of Saint Benedict. Composed by Benedict of Nursia in the sixth century, the Rule details the laws by which a community of cenobites should live, including its organization, daily routine, correction of wayward members, ownership of property, and provision for the sick, as well as regulations and guidelines concerning many other subjects.

Canterbury Castle was one of the three original royal castles of Kent (the other two were at Rochester and Dover), all of which were built shortly after the Battle of Hastings. They were all situated on the main Roman road from Dover to London, the route taken by William the Conqueror in October 1066, and it is more than likely that they were all built originally as motte-and-bailey castles in the winter of 1066-67 to guard this important route.
In Canterbury, the original castle was almost certainly located in the southern angle of the third century Roman city walls in the area of the present public gardens.
It has been expanded and modernized for many different uses in the past. Once used as a jail and even a storage depot, it is now open to the public and receives many visitors every day.
00:17:47
Saint Mildred’s Church is situated near Canterbury Castle and remains the only standing pre-Norman conquest church inside the city walls. Outside, on the southwest corner, are huge quoin stones, which may have come from the ruins of Roman Canterbury.
The South and West walls are possibly original, but the windows were added in the 1300s along with the tower on the north side of the church. The north aisle was built in 1486.
It was dedicated to a Saxon princess who became a nun and died around the year 700. The church is thought to have been built or rededicated in the early eleventh century, when St. Augustine’s abbey just outside Canterbury was allowed to retrieve Mildred’s remains from the sacked nunnery where she was buried.

St. Thomas' is part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark, which takes in the local authorities covering south London and Kent.
After the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century under King Henry VIII the Catholic Faith in Canterbury all but disappeared. The Catholic Mission in Canterbury was re-established around 1750 and dates back to the Hales family who lived at St. Stephen's, Hackington, a village to the north west of the city.
The Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury was built between 1874 and 1875. The architect was John Green Hall, a local man who had designed other churches in Canterbury.
00:19:30
During Roman times Canterbury was surrounded by city walls. Traces of the wall still remain in selected areas. The walls are mentioned in several Anglo-Saxon documents, dating back to 1011 when the Danes succeeded in breaking into the city, slaughtering the inhabitants, and tossing them over the walls. Stories are also told of the same Danish Vikings being thrown from the battlements. The walls were frequently rebuilt and reconstructed but never had to withstand any other real siege after the events of 1011. These defensive walls have loomed large in the history of Canterbury for nearly two millennia and deterred invaders from the time of their construction until 700 years later. Today, much of the defensive structure remains, including long stretches of wall, gatehouses and wall towers.

Canterbury is an attractive city, with a number of gardens, parks and centrally located green areas. Much of the Dane John Gardens is surrounded by the historic city walls and mature trees. This historic park within Canterbury city's walls dates back to 1551, and includes a mound that historical records prove was there in the first century AD.
A stroll along the city walls that border one side of the gardens to the top of the Dane John Mound offers an excellent view of the city.
00:21:03
The mound called the Dane John is a corruption of the word donjon and reflects the fact that this was the first Norman motte to be erected shortly after the battle of Hastings. The gardens are a delightful spot to sit and reflect. A central fountain and a children’s maze are two of the park’s many attractions.
