Nathalie Language Experience14. Canterbury Tour - St George`s Tower/ The Clock TowerThe clock tower is all that remains of the medieval church of St George the Martyr. The church is
best known as the place where playwright Christopher Marlowe was baptised.
It is not clear when the first church on this High Street site was built; it is possible that there was a
Saxon church here, possibly as early as the 7th century. However, the earliest evidence we have
only pushes the date back to the 11th century. However, recent archaeological excavations have
discovered a late Iron Age or early Roman ditch beneath the church.2020-04-1301 minNathalie Language Experience13. Canterbury Tour - Christ Church GatewayThe main visitor entrance to Canterbury Cathedral precinct is through this highly decorated
gateway, which was originally built to celebrate the marriage of Arthur, Prince of Wales, to
Catherine of Aragon in 1502. Arthur, unfortunately, died a few months later, and the gate was not
finished for another 20 years.2020-04-1302 minNathalie Language Experience12. Canterbury Tour - Crooked HouseThe Crooked House, sometimes known as Sir John Boys House, King’s Gallery, or Old King’s
Shop, looks as if it is about to tumble over. Its skewed facade stops many visitors in their tracks.
Built in the 17th century, the Crooked House’s strange appearance has sparked a few stories.
Some claim that it inspired a passage in Dickens’s David Copperfield. Others say it was the house
of MP and recorder of Canterbury Sir John Boys; this has been discovered to be unfounded.
Nonetheless, the house often takes his name.2020-04-1301 minNathalie Language Experience11. Canterbury Tour - The Parrot CanterburyThis is the oldest pub and one of the oldest buildings in Canterbury, dating from the 15th century
and named after the monks of St Radigund at Bradsole near Dover. Virtually nothing of the early
history is known, but at some time a first floor was created over the hall and the chimneys added,
as with most hall houses. Going back to at least the beginning of the 20th century the building
contained seven tenements: hence the pub’s postal address of 3-9 Church Lane. In 1937 it was in
danger of demolition as unfit for human habitation, but discovery of ma...2020-04-1301 minNathalie Language Experience10. Canterbury Tour - BlackfriarsThe remains of a 13th-century friary, on the bank of the River Stour. Blackfriars was founded
around 1237 by Dominican monks, whose black surcoat gave them the popular monicker 'Black
Friars'.
