Canterbury Castle

These are the remains of Canterbury Castle.
Although it was built for warfare with very thick stone walls, Canterbury Castle was never put to the test. It was mainly used as a prision.
There is not much information available about Canterbury Castle but we know that between 1555-57 the castle used to hold 52 innocent martyrs who are imprisioned for their religion and later burnt at the stake.
