Canterbury is pleasantly situated on the Stour. It is the metropolitan see of all England. The chief object of attraction is the magnificent cathedral, with a fine choir, an altar-piece, designed by Sir James Burrough, a remarkable painted window, and the shrine of Thomas a Becket. It was begun in 1174, and not finished till the reign of Henry V. Under the cathedral is a church for French Protestants, a colony of whom settled here after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and established the silk manufacture, which still continues, though in a declining state. The chief trade consists in corn and hops. Besides the cathedral there are fourteen churches. It returns two members to Parliament. Population in 1841, 15,435. A railroad leads from Canterbury to Whitstable. Four |
