Canterbury
The church at Canterbury is considered to be the Mother Church of the Anglican Communion. The Church goes all the way back to 597AD, and it was founded by St. Augustine. The cathedral has attracted a lot of pilgrims and is still a great place to visit. Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in this church and that is another reason why this church is so popular. The cathedral is surrounded by a beautiful garden, called the precinct gardens. There is also a lot of stained glass found throughout the entire church. The Canterbury Cathedral has many historical things found inside it and around it and that is why it attracts so many visitors
