St. Martin's Church in Canterbury is the oldest Church in all of England. It is located close to the town centre and together with the Cathedral of Canterbury and the Abbey of St. Augustine is among the world heritage sites of UNESCO.

In the VI century Church of St. Martin served as the personal chapel of Queen Bertha – wife-Christian king of Kent Eterbirth. As the "father of English history" - the Trouble with Honourable, the Church was built during the Roman times, and in 580 year it was restored by king Eternita. Queen Bertha, who was born near the French city of tours, chose this Church because it was dedicated to St. Martin from the same town.

In 595 year in Kent arrived, the papal envoy Augustine, whose mission was the baptism of the king and his subjects. Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, is located in the Church of St. Martin, in the year 597 increased in size. Same here and was baptized the king of Ethelbert – the exact date of this event is unknown, but most likely, it happened in the 601 year. Soon the city had erected the Cathedral and the Abbey of St. Augustine, and St. Martin's Church has lost its position.

St Martin Church built of stones used by the Romans. In the centre of the Roman Church houses the tomb of the same era. Other parts of the Church walls, as well as the main part of the nave were built in the VII century, during the mission of St. Augustine of Canterbury. The Eastern apse of the Cathedral did not survive. Tower of the Church of St. Martin was built much later and in the style of perpendicular Gothic.

In 1844 in the Church yard were found gold coins of the VI century, including a locket with a picture of Lutgarda – chaplain of Queen Bertha. Now this medallion is stored in the British Museum in London.
