Canterbury Cathedral is the mother church of the Church of England and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, a UNESCO World Heritage building of extraordinary Gothic grandeur that has drawn pilgrims since the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170 and inspired Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The Norman crypt, the magnificent stained glass, and the corona apse are among the finest medieval architectural achievements in Britain. Hotels near Canterbury Cathedral are in the historic city centre, a short walk from the medieval city walls and the Roman ruins beneath the cathedral precinct.
