St Martin's Church

St Martin's can claim to be the oldest Church in England and the oldest still in regular use. St Augustine set up a Church here when he arrived in Kent in 597 AD to convert the inhabitants to Christianity. St Martin's thus forms part of the Canterbury World Heritage Site, along with Canterbury Cathedral and St Augustine's Abbey. Unlike those other two historic attractions, St Martin's remains unknown to most visitors to Canterbury, and that's a real shame, for it is a lovely historic building.
