Its chief objects of interest are the cathedral, St. Martin's Church, St. Dunstan's Church, remains of the castle, the monastery of St. Augustine, and many old houses. It is on the site of a British village, and was a Roman military station and a Kentish town. Augustine here in 600 became the first archbishop. It was sacked by the Danes in 1011. The cathedral was founded in the 11th century. The existing choir was built by William of Sens, France, after 1174, and the Perpendicular nave, transepts, and great central tower are of the 15th century. In plan the cathedral is long and narrow, with double transepts. The interior is light and impre ive. The choir is raised several feet, and separated from the nave by a sculptured 15th-century screen. The columns, arcades, vaulting, and chevet are very similar in character to those of the cat he. dral of Sens, which supplied the model. Some of the gla of the deambulatory is of the 13th century. The portion of the choir behind the altar contains several fine altar tombs of early archbishops, and the tombs of Henry IV. and the Black Prince. At the extreme east end is a beaut i ful circular chapel called the Corona. The crypt is very large, and early Norman in style. The Perpendicular cloisters are ornate and picturesque. The dimensions of the cathedral are 514 by 71 feet; the height of the nave vaulting 80, and of the central tower 235. St. Martin's is called the "Mother Church of England."
