Probably more than anywhere in the United Kingdom, Canterbury is invested with a heritage which has translated into so many aspects of modern life. From the Celts to the Romans to the founding of Christianity, Canterbury is central to Britain's heritage. This expansive sense of the past pervades every aspect of the city.

Since the founding of Christianity when St Augustine became the very first Archbishop, the city has been the most influential centre of the world's Anglican community and the position of Archbishop of Canterbury is the most revered.

Throughout this marvellous city, the past is discernible in many aspects of life, from the grand Cathedral to the Marlowe Theatre, so named for the famous playwright, Christopher Marlowe, a contemporary of Shakespeare's whose literary brilliance is globally recognized.

This literary tradition is no more revered than for the famous 14th century Canterbury Tales, penned by Geoffrey Chaucer and titled in reference to the pilgrims who set out to visit the shrine of Thomas Becket, notoriously murdered within the Cathedral for refusing to renounce his convictions.

In a city so integrated with history, it is a pleasure to find a place like Augustines Bed and Breakfast. Complementing the abundant historical architecture, Augustines Bed and Breakfast is a Victorian house on St Augustine's Road in the heart of the city.
