Canterbury: a martyr's shrine, pilgrims on the road and a rail first

Canterbury grew from a Roman walled town into the mother church of the land and one of the busiest pilgrim cities of Europe, and many of its stories are still written in its glass, towers and lanes. This quiz invites you to discover them in 20 questions with pictures.

What did the Anglo-Saxon name of the city mean, and who prayed in the little church outside the walls before the monks from Rome arrived? What really happened in the church of the archbishops on 29 December 1170, which famous royal outburst is less certain than it sounds, and when did a ruler come to kneel at the tomb?

Then the church and its visitors: what do the glowing windows of the Trinity Chapel tell, what became of the mason from France who rebuilt the choir, where does the name of the central tower come from, and what did pilgrims carry home in tiny tin flasks? How many stories did Chaucer actually finish, and which common word may have been born on the pilgrims' road?

There are also questions on a nickname first written down generations after the prince who bore it, on the one monarch buried there, on what the Westgate was used for, on a story told about the end of the shrine, on refugees from across the Channel, on a gate attacked in the Civil War, on a playwright's family, on a hospital by the river, on a little railway of 1830 and on the raids of 1942. The pictures are old photographs, photochroms, engravings, paintings, maps, medieval manuscripts and objects in the public domain.
