Canterbury (
i/ˈkæntərbri/, /-bəri/, or /-bɛri/) 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 in the United Kingdom. It 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. A journey of pilgrims to his 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 relatively small city in terms of geographical size, when compared with other British cities.
Canterbury (UK Parliament constituency)
Canterbury is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 1987 by Julian Brazier of the Conservative Party.
History
The wider constituency was formed from an expansion of the narrow parliamentary borough (or simply borough) of the same name that existed from 1295 to 1918. This had elected two MPs from 1295 (the Model Parliament) until 1885, and then one until 1918. Since 1918 it has consistently elected candidates of the Conservative Party.
Boundaries
1918-1950: The County Borough of Canterbury, the Urban Districts of Herne Bay and Whitstable, the Rural Districts of Bridge and Elham, and the Rural District of Blean with the detached parts of the civil parishes of Dunkirk and Hernhill which were wholly surrounded by the rural district.
1950-1983: The County Borough of Canterbury, the Urban Districts of Herne Bay and Whitstable, and the Rural District of Bridge Blean.
1983-1997: The City of Canterbury wards of Barham Downs, Barton, Blean Forest, Chartham, Chestfield, Gorrell, Harbledown, Harbour, Little Stour, Marshside, Northgate, North Nailbourne, St Stephen's, Seasalter, Stone Street, Sturry North, Sturry South, Swalecliffe, Tankerton, Westgate, and Wincheap, and the Borough of Swale wards of Boughton and Courtenay.

Your Face Is In Hd
by: CanterburySix people out in the forest never seemed like anything would go wrong
And that’s what we said. This is a one-time thing and not what we do every day, all day.
Tell me what you want me to be.
Please tell me I’m a friend for real.
Well, things are creeping up and it’s information
That I don’t really want to find out.
We are away in a dream fetching food for all.
Fearing to face what we know is upon us all.
Just empty hands on the bars of a rusty bike.
Fear in the face as our powerful minds think alike.
Six friends all out in the open, don’t you do it if you think something would go wrong.
That’s what the man said. Don’t be afraid of flames at all,
When fire’s burning, it can still burn your hands.
If it’s life at its very best
For it just to question everything you hold close to your chest.
It’s creeping up and it’s information
That I don’t really want to find out.
Oh, I think I’m about to trip and fall,
Think I’m about to lose it all.
Exposing reflections or greater aspects/expansions [?]
We should look in the mirror,
But not at the same time.
Time, it doesn’t exist at all,
I think I either lost it all
Or never found it all.
We are away in a dream fetching food for all.
Fearing to face what we know is upon us all.
Just empty hands on the bars of a rusty bike.
Fear in the face as our powerful minds think alike.
Oh, I think I’m about to trip and fall,
Think I’m about to lose it all.
Exposing reflections or greater aspects as if
We should look in the mirror
But not at the same time.
Time, it doesn’t exist at all,
I think I either lost it all
Or never found it all.
