:: The Round Church Lt Maplestead ::
St John the Baptist, or the Round Church Lt Maplestead, was built of the foundations of an older building in AD 1335
The original building belonged to The Order of St John of Jerusalem. The Knights Hospitallers.
This Round Church is one of only two remaining in use at the present day.The Temple Church in London, which belonged to the Knights Templars, and the church at Lt Maplestead belonging to the Knights Hospitallers.
The Interior of this church was very dull, with limited light coming though the stained glass windows. But thanks to the new technology of my Canon EOS 5D Mk II, and the new Fujifilm X100S I was able to shoot these pictures. Hand held @ ISO 5000

Canterbury has been a European pilgrimage site of major importance for over 800 years since the assassination of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170.
Today it is one of the most beautiful and historic cities in England. The medieval city centre bustles with famous name stores and exclusive boutiques while the picturesque side streets are home to smaller specialist shops, pubs and restaurants
