Excerpt from The History of St. Martin's Church, Canterbury: A MonographSt. Martin's church is situated on a gently sloping hill, about a thousand yards due east of the Cathedral. To one looking from the elevated ter race which bounds its churchyard, the panorama is exceedingly picturesque and beautiful. In the dis tance rises a range of low wooded hills that almost encircle Canterbury, and the conspicuous building of Hales' Place, now the Jesuits' College, while beneath is spread in a hollow the city itself with its red-tiled roofs interspersed with patches of green, the Library and twin towers of St. Augus tine's Abbey, and above all the massive Cathedral, with Becket's Crown in the foreground, and the central Bell Harry tower lifting out of the morn ing's mist its magnificent pinnacles and tracery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
