Founded by St Augustine in 597 AD, Canterbury Cathedral is a unique place of worship, a major pilgrimage destination, a masterpiece of art and architecture, and one of the UK's most-visited historic sites. Often referred to as 'England in stone.
The architecture of the Canterbury Cathedral is the result of the fusion between two architectural styles: the Romanesque style and the Perpendicular Gothic style. Defined by the completely rounded arches, the Romanesque style was used in the eastern side of the cathedral including the nave and part of the quire.
The cathedral boasts some of the finest church architecture in the country, built from stone imported from Caen in Normandy. A church and cathedral has stood on the site for over 1,400 years. The first Archbishop of Canterbury was St Augustine who arrived in Kent as a missionary in 597 AD. -

Whilst King Henry VII never took an interest in Leeds Castle, his son King Henry VIII transformed it from a fortified stronghold to a magnificent royal palace. Between 1517-1523 on his orders, major alterations were made so that he and his first wife Katherine of Aragon, could visit the castle in comfort.
