Very informative on the history of the hospital throughout the centuries. This also leads to Greyfriars Chapel and Greyfriars chapel. There is a service at this chapel once a week.

Located in the center of the Old City section of Canterbury, the Hospital of St. Thomas the Martyr, Eastbridge-now most often simply referred to as Eastbridge Hosptial-offers a fascinating glimpse into the concept of medieval hospitality. Established in the late 1100s as a place of a hospitality (the original meaning of the word "hospital"), the facility was said to have been built to house pilgrims visiting the city to pay homage to Thomas Becket. Although still in use as an almshouse for the elderly, much of this remarkably well-preserved facility can be toured. Highlights include visiting its two chapels and the various exhibits housed in the Undercroft, some of which detail its use as a schoolhouse for a period (Christopher Marlowe studied here as a young student). Be sure to also spend time exploring the old Franciscan Gardens, part of the grounds of the order's original British settlement (open spring to fall), along with Greyfriars Chapel, built in the 13th century as a guesthouse for visitors.

iIt takes you right into the 12th Century and gives you a feel of where Canterbury has come from. The Gardens are stunning and you can sit on the grass enjoying the peace, seconds away from the busyness of Canterbury High Street.
