Until 11th Aug. 1840 there were twelve canonries or prebends in the church of Canterbury; three of which, viz. the first, fourth, and sixth, were in the gift of the archbishop of Canterbury, all the rest were in the gift of the King.

The canons, with the dean, were incorporated 8th April 1542, by letters patent, under the name of the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ in Canterbury.
