ac., pop. 21,704; 2 Banks, 6 newspapers. Market-day,
Saturday. The antiquity of C. is attested by the
Druidical and Roman remains which have been found
there. The Romans, who called it Durovernum (sup-
posed to be derived from the ancient British Durwhern),
seem to have built its walls, some parts of which
still remain. Its present name comes from the Saxon
Cantwara-byrig, signifying “the borough or town of
the men of Kent,” whose kings resided here. The con-
version of King Ethelbert to Christianity by St Augus-
tine was the occasion of its cathedral and abbey being
founded (597). During the ravages of the Danes (843-
1011), the city suffered severely; but at the time of
the Norman Conquest it had recovered its importance.
In 1170, Thomas a Becket, the Archbishop, was
murdered at the altar of the cathedral; which in
after-years drew pilgrims from all parts of Christendom
to visit his shrine. The Archbishop of Canterbury is
primate of all England, and, next to the royal family,
takes precedence of all peers. His seats are Lambeth
Palace and Addington Park. C. cathedral is one of
the finest in England, exhibiting specimens of all the
styles of architecture from Early Norman to latest Eng-
lish. There are extensive barracks for infantry and
cavalry in the city, which is the depot of all cavalry
regiments on foreign service. A good trade in grain, hops,
and malt is carried on. C. returns 1 member to Pari.
