The largest and the finest medieval gateway in England, Westgate Towers was built during the Hundred Years’ War (1337 to 1453) to defend Canterbury from foreign incursion. It also symbolised the wealth and importance of the city.

Former millrace on the River Stour

Highlight • Structure

There is nothing to say further of this river, excepting as to the Mills situated on it in and about this city, which are now but few, in number only five; whereas about king Stephen's time, I find that, besides these mills, there were six others standing upon this river, in or not far from this city, which belonged to the monks of Christ Church; all which are long since down and quite gone.
