Canterbury Cathedral is the Mother Church of the worldwide Anglican Communion and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Cathedral is both a holy place and part of a World Heritage Site.
St Augustine's Abbey
Founded shortly after AD 597 by St. Augustine after he was sent by Pope Gregory to convert the pagan King Ethelbert of Kent. Originally created as a burial place for the Angle-Saxon kings of Kent, it is part of the Canterbury World Heritage Site along with the Cathedral and St Martin's Church.

Once the private chapel of Queen Bertha of Kent before the arrival of St. Augustine in AD 957, it is England's oldest parish church in continuous use and the oldest church in the entire English-speaking world.
