30 was again rebuilt on a larger scale by his successor Arch bishop Anselm, whose work, in turn, on being restored after the fire of 1172, was then considerably enlarged, especially by the addition of a chapel and corona, both dedicated to St Thomas, at its eastern end. In this state substantially the choir remains to the present day. Lanfranc s nave survived till the 14th century, when it was rebuilt, with the exception of one western tower, taken down in 1834. The central tower was not completed till about 1500. The most interesting parts remaining in the present church are (1) the site of the murder of Becket in the north-west transept, which still shows the mark of the altar erected in its commemoration, though a prevalent story of a stone in the pavement from which his blood stain has been cut out, is a modern fiction ; (2) the site of the shrine itself, shown by the rough flooring in the centre of its chapel, King Henry s commissioners having destroyed the very pavement on which it stood; (3) a few remaining windows of rich 12th century glass, unique in- England and scarcely equalled on the Continent ; (4) monuments of the Black Prince, of Henry IV. and his queen, and of several of the archbishops from Peckham to Pole ; (5) fine remains of Norman fresco-painting in the apse of St Gabriel in the crypt ; and (6) the choir itself, built through the ten years succeeding 1174, an interest ing specimen of the gradual transition from the Norman style progressing in England at the latter end of the 12th century, and showing especially the first introduction of that Southern-French variety of detail which gained a place in the new style now known as Early English. Many of the monastic buildings still remain, as the cloisters, the chapter-house, the treasury, the two entrance gateways, and the lavatory tower now used as a baptistery ; and scattered in the precincts are relics of the infirmary, the dormitory, the prior s house, and three sets of buildings for hospitality to three different grades of pilgrims all show ing great beauty of architecture. The chapter buildings, added in the last few years, are not so praiseworthy. Of St Augustine s Abbey the remains are fewer ; but a beautiful gateway of the 14th century, the abbot s hall, and some remains of the great church, attest its former magnificence. Of the other religious foundations of the city, no remains exist of St Gregory s priory or St Sepul chre s nunnery, but interesting parts are left of the Grey or Franciscan Friars, the White or Angustinian, and the Black or Dominican Friars (the latter the first friary of this order established in England) ; also of the hospitals of St John, Northgate; St Nicholas, Harbledown ; St Thomas, Eastbridge ; St Lawrence ; and that of the Poor Priests, of which the first three still remain in use as almshouses. Of the fifteen parish churches which exist the most remarkable is St Martin s, the church frequented by Bertha the queen of Ethelbert before Augustine s arrival and thus the earliest seat of English Christianity. In this church Ethelbert must have been baptized, and the exist ing font has been supposed of that age ; rude and archaic, however, as it is, it is not earlier than a Norman date, though Saxon masonry still exists in the church walls. Among the secular remains there are large portions of the city walls, mostly of the 15th century, but connected in parts with an earthen bank of a very much earlier date, and in one spot with a conical mound called the Dane-John or Donjon, probably of Celtic origin. The Norman keep of the castle, one of Bishop Gundulph s works, still exists, but in a very mutilated condition, as well as a fine gateway tower, the west gate of the city, built about the year 1380 by Archbishop Sudbury. The Guild Hall is of old work, but has been refaced with modern brick ; and part remains of the Chequers Inn for pilgrims, built by Prior Chillenden about the year 1400, and mentioned by Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales ; but much of this was burnt down in 1865. There are slight remains also of the archbishop s palace, built on the very ground originally given by King Ethel bert before his conversion, and then known as Staplegate ; but the archbishops have ceased to reside in Canterbury since the 17th century.
