Greyfriars

Next we walked down Church Ln to Stour St. Christopher (Kit) Marlowe was born in Canterbury (for an excellent historical novel, read Anthony Burgess’s A Dead Man in Deptford), passing through Beer Cart Ln by the Marlowe Kit to Greyfriars Gardens. Passing through the gardens we came out into St Peter’s Grove, a street that looks like all those English ’60s movies. Click any of the pictures to enlarge them all.

Norman Castle

Continue anti-clockwise past the Dane John Mound we descended from the Roman Wall and came to the ruins of the Norman Castle which, unfortunately was in too tumble-down a state to approach so I had to be contented with this somewhat distant shot of the remains.
