Places to see in ( Canterbury - UK )
Canterbury, a cathedral city in southeast England, was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. Canterbury Cathedral, founded 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, incorporating Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows.
Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, which lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. Canterbury lies on the River Stour.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primate of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion owing to the importance of St Augustine, who served as the apostle to the pagan Kingdom of Kent around the turn of the 7th century. The city's cathedral became a major focus of pilgrimage following the 1170 martyrdom of Thomas Becket, although it had already been a well-trodden pilgrim destination since the murder of St Alphege by the men of King Canute in 1012. A journey of pilgrims to Becket's shrine served as the frame for Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th century classic The Canterbury Tales.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.

CANTERBURY, KENT - what to see
Canterbury in Kent is a truly gorgeous location I would highly recommend to everyone to visit. Not only it is packed with history but most of the historical sites can be viewed and admired in the city centre after paying a very small fee compared to the high fees you would have to pay in similar locations around the world that take you to cleaners.
On the way to the Cathedral from the train station (some one hour away from London thus making it a great day trip) you can visit the Tower, the gardens, the Freemason museum and even the very old Eastbridge hospital which was more like a location for pilgrims to rest and not have 'surgeries'!!! And all these are located on the high street!!!
Add to this the gorgeous architecture of the recent hundreds of years and then you learn why this place must be visited at least once in your life time.
I sincerely hope all this information was of some help to you.

Adam & Eve: a sentimental journey
On 20th February 2014 Maria and I took a short trip to Norwich where I'd lived from 1976 to 1980 while a graduate student at the University of East Anglia.
The recording on which this video is built was unplanned and unexpected, much as the visit to Adam and Eve was unplanned and unexpected ... we'd been walking along Bishopsgate talking about the pub and, amazingly, on turning a corner there it was. So we stopped for a drink. And, without announcement, suddenly Maria was filming me. This is the result.

George VI Stammering King GRAND MASTER MASON WW2 James 1st Scot Kidnapping Prof Lees FUGITIVE
Dear Friends, this will be remembered as the processing of Professor George Lees as an OUTLAW/FUGITIVE video. To protect my loyal friends who were refused access to my STAR CHAMBER LOCKED door court hearing I have made it deep in the woods of Scotland. For this reason it may contain FLASHING images of police & millitary helicopters passing by. SO THE STORIES that make me an outlaw that reveal the war crimes of Rothschild, Kissinger, Blair, Trump, Nixon, George Osborne, Murdoch, Prince Charles are all over my website. The only way to silence me on these themes was to BANG ME in jail beyond midnight at Hawick police station, convene a LOCKED door hearing in late afternoon, with my friends outside for hours THEN to threaten me that I would be locked up for another 3 days in THE SQUALID CELLS where you are awakened every hour to remind you that many people get suicided if you reveal governmental and money lending/profiteering crimes of this nature IN A CIVIL case prompted WITH NO GROUNDS by a woman from Chipping Norton who conirmed to my friends AFTER the trauma that I have never abused her physically and her only grounds for divorce were my BAD BEHAVIOURS reported on this website (THE CRIMES disclosed by me) So this is the first video I have made in a week and I go for the HEADLINE that the stammering King who won the OSCAR for starting WW2 was the GRAND MASTER MASON of the Scottish and English lodge in the lead up to WW2 and the killing of 45 million people. I list his successors who include Balfour of Whittinghame adjacent to DUNBAR (One of Arthur Balfours homes when he partitioned PALESTINE and continued the promised land concept launched in the earliest chapters of the BIBLE). The lists of Masons can be found here some become leaders in UK then AUSTRALIA another ANZAC war dead joke. Mr Bean who openmed the 2012 London Olympics was war correspondent for Churchills BOTHCHED Galipolli. In this video I reveal the Churchill -Desmond Morton Butcher Haig Commanders in Chief of the ALLIED armies MASONIC links and their jokes about the killing of the pagans under OAK trees. SEVENOAKS in KENT is home to the ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY and Churchills CHARTWELL HOUSE. Desmond Morton Churchills private secretary lived within walking range and he was the TREASONOUS SPY in Operation Winnie the Pooh and stunningly BUTCHER HAIGS murderous batman in WW1. The Current Archbishop of Canterbury (formerly Bishop of Durham when I visited his home) Justin Welby is a former ELF oil executive and his mum was also Churchills private secretary untill he retired to Blenheim in 1955 after he and the profiteering BEAVERBROOK (who trained Lord Haw Haw for Hitler) had celebrated their GLOBAL war carnage on the COTE'Dazure in Monaco: they have loads of homes from the LOOT). I will place images on my website of the historic SCOTTISH KING/Queen Dukes of Albany and Clarence PRETEND that Scotland has a KING TOO with the stories of the kidnapping of James 1st of Scotland by HENRY IV of England then all the ensuing STEWART Monarchy claimants being held to RANSOME in English Jails or as CONSCRIPTS into Englands battles. James 1st is dead ringer for Richard Branson and all of the picking of the Scots kings by Longshanks (Balliol of YORKSHIRE & Piedmont France) is the same template and all the RAGMAN ROLLS gifts land all over England to Scottish Nobles. The WINDSORS (AKA the saxe Coburgs and Gotha's run the scams right up to WW2 when they demonise Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha an old ETONIAN and NAZI by WW2 and head of the Laundering AMBULANCE service launched out of NEUTRAL SWITZERLAND. That is Queen Vic and THE ROTHSCHILD Sired GRANDSON Batard and he conveniently allowed the WINDSORS to adopt the name of the PRISON PALACE that the pretenders had been held in right up to WW1. By WW2 the name change was effected and you must listen to the roles played by FLEMING, Sinclair, Douglas, Dukes of Buccleugh LANDGRABBERS & MASONS like the legendary BRUCE 1st King after Baliol portrayed as the traitor in BRAVEHEART. The attandering and creation of a fugitive in law leads to the pardoning of some and the execution of many IT IS FUN compared to teaching molecular neuroscience for a 6 figure salary I will post MUG SHOTS OF THE CULPRITS on my website later.

St Mary's Church, Eastwell, Ashford, Kent.
St. Mary's Church at Eastwell has the classic 'Haunted Ruin' appearance of Gothic legend.
Steeped in history the church dates from the 14th Century and now only consists of the western walls and tower, along with the old south porch and fragments of the east and south walls.
In 1555 the burial register records the burial of Richard Plantagenet, reputed to be the surviving son of Richard III who escaped the carnage of Bosworth Field to live his life as a recluse on the Eastwell Estate.
The same century saw the opening of a vault under the south chancel that would lead to the internment of members of the Finch family. Members of the Royal Courts their splendid memorial is now removed from its plinth to the Victoria and Albert Museum along with the later 'White Lady' memorial of Emily Georgiana Countess of Winchilsea who passed in her life of tragedy as a Kleptomaniac ending early.
The church was not, as popularly recorded, destroyed by a bomb in the war, but undoubtedly weakened by the army tank maneuvers in the park combined with water soaked up by the churches chalk structure since the 40 acre lake was built next to it in the 1840's, it crumbled in 1951 with what is described as a terrible roar by a witness who saw the collapse.
Ghost Connections previous visits were of interest and prompted a return visit especially in the light of a corroborated witness account sent to us recently.

100% RELIABLE LEAFLET DELIVERY
Leaflet Distribution (tm) has local leafleters in Birchington, Kent, CT7.
We specialise in leaflet and flyer distribution in Birchington
and are a very experienced business in this sector, having been
operating since 2004. We also run a cleaning company franchise called
Nationwide Cleaners and one of our own leaflets goes out with each drop,
so we have a vested interest in ensuring it is done properly. Our
Nationwide Cleaners leaflets also enable us to monitor how many calls we
receive from potential cleaning clients and potential cleaners. Very few
other leaflet distribution companies have this advantage. In addition,
to maximise the response rate we only deliver a maximum of 3 leaflets
through each letterbox. We want the highest possible number of calls for
you (and us!) Most competitors just stack 5 or 6 leaflets together and
all of them end up grabbed in 1 hand en route to the bin! They simply do
not have a vested interest in the outcome of the flyer drop.
Beware of leaflet distribution firms whose only method of tracking is
GPS, as I have heard stories of leafleters walking the streets, but not
actually delivering anything or putting 4 leafets through each
letterbox! With us, that is not possible, as we would immediately notice
the absence of cleaning calls. Our staff know this, so rogue leafleters
would avoid working for us and instead apply for jobs with our competitors!
We are extremely careful who we hire. We operate a profiling system
based on experience to eliminate unsuitable and unreliable potential
staff, but I cannot disclose details on here due to possibly being
accused of discrimination! As a franchise, we have extensive experience
due to honing and refining our business systems.
leafletsdelivered.co.uk has more information or you can phone Sue
on 07771 321 488 . If there is an answerphone, please leave a message with
your phone number and he will ring you back asap the same day.
You can email us at sue@leafletsdelivered.co.uk, but if you have many
questions, speaking on the phone is much faster than email.
GUARANTEE. Since we have been in existence since 2004 and only use
meticulously chosen leafleters, we can guarantee your distribution in
Birchington will be carried out properly. All our leafleters are
experienced and have done many drops for us previously, so there is no
risk for you.
So, if you manage a business and would like more clients, do not
hesitate to contact us to clarify any questions and to get started.

SUMMARY
=======
Huguenots (; French: Les huguenots [yɡ(ə)no]) are an ethnoreligious group of French Protestants who follow the Reformed tradition.
The term has its origin in early 16th century France. It was frequently used in reference to those of the Reformed Church of France from the time of the Protestant Reformation. Huguenots were French Protestants who held to the Reformed tradition of Protestantism, while the populations of Alsace, Moselle and Montbéliard were mainly German Lutherans. In his Encyclopedia of Protestantism, Hans Hillerbrand claimed that on the eve of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572, the Huguenot community included as much as 10% of the French population, but it declined to 7–8% by around 1600 and even further after the return of heavy persecution in 1685 with Louis XIV's Edict of Fontainebleau.
Huguenot numbers peaked near an estimated two million by 1562, concentrated mainly in the southern and western parts of the Kingdom of France. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the French Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The Huguenots were led by Jeanne d'Albret, her son, the future Henry IV (who would later convert to Catholicism to become king) and the princes of Condé. The wars ended with the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy.
Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s prompted the abolition of their political and military privileges. They retained the religious provisions of the Edict of Nantes until the rule of Louis XIV, who gradually increased persecution of Protestantism until he issued the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685), ultimately ending any legal recognition of Protestantism in France and forcing the Huguenots to either convert or flee in a wave of violent dragonnades. Louis XIV laid claim that the French Huguenot population was reduced from about 800,000 to 900,000 adherents down to just 1,000 to 1,500; although he overexaggerated the reduction, the dragonnades certainly were devastating for the French Protestant community. Nevertheless, the remaining Huguenots faced continued persecution under Louis XV. At the time of Louis XV's death in 1774, Calvinism had been nearly eliminated from France. Persecution of Protestants officially ended with the Edict of Versailles, signed by Louis XVI in 1787. Two years later, with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, Protestants gained equal rights as citizens.The bulk of Huguenot émigrés relocated to Protestant states such as England and Wales, the Channel Islands, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the Dutch Republic, the Electorate of Brandenburg and Electorate of the Palatinate in the Holy Roman Empire, the Duchy of Prussia, as well as majority Catholic but Protestant-controlled Ireland. They also fled to the Dutch Cape Colony in South Africa, the Dutch East Indies, the Caribbean, New Netherland and several of the English colonies in North America. A few families also went to Orthodox Russia and Catholic Quebec.
By now, most Huguenots have been assimilated into various societies and cultures, but remnant communities of Camisards in the Cévennes, most Reformed members of the United Protestant Church of France, French members of the largely German Protestant Reformed Church of Alsace and Lorraine and the Huguenot diaspora in England and Australia all still retain their beliefs and Huguenot designation.

Huguenots ( HEW-gə-nots, also UK: -nohz, French: [yɡ(ə)no]) were a religious group of French Protestants.
Huguenots were French protestants who held to the Reformed tradition of Protestantism. The term has its origin in early-16th-century France. It was frequently used in reference to those of the Reformed Church of France from the time of the Protestant Reformation. By contrast, the Protestant populations of eastern France, in Alsace, Moselle, and Montbéliard were mainly German Lutherans.
In his Encyclopedia of Protestantism, Hans Hillerbrand said that, on the eve of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572, the Huguenot community included as much as 10% of the French population. By 1600 it had declined to 7–8%, and was reduced further after the return of severe persecution in 1685 under Louis XIV's Edict of Fontainebleau.
The Huguenots were believed to be concentrated among the population in the southern and western parts of the Kingdom of France. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the French Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The Huguenots were led by Jeanne d'Albret, her son, the future Henry IV (who would later convert to Catholicism in order to become king), and the princes of Condé. The wars ended with the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy.
Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s resulted in the abolition of their political and military privileges. They retained the religious provisions of the Edict of Nantes until the rule of Louis XIV, who gradually increased persecution of Protestantism until he issued the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685). This ended legal recognition of Protestantism in France and the Huguenots were forced either to convert to Catholicism (possibly as Nicodemites) or flee as refugees; they were subject to violent dragonnades. Louis XIV claimed that the French Huguenot population was reduced from about 800,000 to 900,000 adherents to just 1,000 to 1,500. He exaggerated the decline, but the dragonnades were devastating for the French Protestant community.
The remaining Huguenots faced continued persecution under Louis XV. By the time of his death in 1774, Calvinism had been nearly eliminated from France. Persecution of Protestants officially ended with the Edict of Versailles, signed by Louis XVI in 1787. Two years later, with the Revolutionary Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, P ...
