St. Paul's Church, Canterbury
This old church is located on the eponymous street, towards the east end of Burgate Street. It represents a low structure, consisting of two aisles and two chancels, and a square bell tower. Saint Paul's dates from Norman times. The church was partially rebuilt in 1876. The original rude construction was considerably restored several years ago, but retains some Medieval flavour. Today it is one of the nicest churches in Canterbury - simple, austere, and rather plain; it has a charm that cannot fail to please. It features the lancet openings, stained glass windows and an elegant altar and altarpiece, like in an old church. Along with Saint Martin's, it comprises the Parish in Canterbury.
