The historic cathedral city of Canterbury has traces of its Roman past. Canterbury became an international pilgrimage destination in the Middle Ages after the assassination of Thomas Becket and although the population plummeted after the Black Death the city walls with its gates was rebuilt. The oldest church in England, St Martins, can trace its history back to this era but it is the cathedral founded under Anglo Saxon rule which still dominates the city close by other surviving Saxon buildings, the Burgate and St Augustine's Abbey.
Although the Baedeker Blitz in World War 2 destroyed many buildings, Canterbury has retained its historic core but today's city is also Huguenot weavers helped to revive the city's fortunes and the town grew again in the 18th and 19th centuries, although some of the town's old buildings such as the castle and the towers in the walls fell into disrepair.
