A quirky look at some of the more grisly, bloody and unusual aspects of Canterbury's rich history, from the brutal assassination of Thomas Becket to ghost stories, crime and punishment, the Peasants' Revolt, the blitz of World War II and the story of the first passenger railway in the world. Discover why and how Canterbury rose to importance as the centre of Christianity in England and the story of the Wantsum Channel that for centuries gave the city direct access to the sea and Continental Europe and made Thanet a true island off the Kent coast.
