I have no idea who you are or why you popped up on my feed but I want to support this. Great video, keep it up.

580?! That means when Elizabeth I. was reigning as Queen, that chapel was already around 1000 years old! 😮

Never heard of this building. Absolutely STUNNING condition!

[timwhite]

to think that building is nearly 1500 years old is mind blowing
it very beautiful in a modest way too

Everyone talks about Cantebury cathedral, but this is truly special

I'd love to just sit in that church for a while to temporarily break away from the mundane. Beautiful. Thank you.

Interestingly, the red bricks are not from later repairs but actually are Roman bricks taken from part of the city perimeter walls built in the 1st Century AD.

I have many ancestors who were baptised, married and buried here. It's an amazing place.

This video sent shivers down my back. The centuries of history that this building has witnessed is amazing. Love your videos, please keep producing them.

This building must be protected at all costs...It is an incredibly important part of our heritage.

This is fascinating. And well presented. It's strange, I love history and have lived in the Canterbury area for most of my life and I've not visited it. I'm 61. I may go tomorrow 😊

Just imagine all the generations, that have come and gone and still it stands. It's truly amazing.

Æthelbert of Kent converted to Christianity though, didn't he? Doesn't that make his marriage to Bertha - which is believed to have been contingent upon his conversion to Christianity - a bit of an odd example of religious pluralism and tolerance?

You make great content btw. I have been a subscriber since you had but a few thousand in your following! Keep up the great work!

Your channel is the best, i am currently recovering from a mild fever in my bed but its like I am exploring the country.

I live near a church that was built in the year 1115 and I thought that must be one of the oldest buildings in England. But this one just blew that out of the water.

I would have loved to have been guided by you about England when I was there solo, first and only trip abroad. You have done such a splendid job - your research, videography, narration - superb.

Wow....just wow! How incredible that a building so old is in such amazing condition. ❤❤❤

Very interesting. Church of St. Martin in Canterbury. Would have been very old already when the Canterbury Tales were written.

This is officially on my travel list, thank you!! I have a fascination with cathedrals and churches, this is a miracle its stood for so long
