Canterbury is a city in eastern Kent in the South East region of England. In Latin the city was called Durovernum Cantiacorum, it lay at the junction of three roads from their ports of Regulbium (Reculver), Dubris (Dover) and Lemanis (Lympne) and stood on what has become known as Watling Street. Much of the city walls and one of the city gates remain. The city is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Primate of All England, head of the Church of England and of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Thomas Becket was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral; King Henry IV was buried along with the Edward the Black Prince. Geoffery Chaucer wrote the Canterbury Tales about a group of people travelling from London to Canterbury. This literary heritage was continued with Christopher Marlowe who was born here. The city became a county corporate in 1461. Canterbury was made a county borough under the Local Government Act 1888. Canterbury is now part of the local government district which is called the City of Canterbury with the historic cathedral city itself being a small part of this larger district. More on Canterbury
