用法筆記
Canterbury is a proper noun and is always capitalised. As a city name, it typically appears without an article: 'She lives in Canterbury.' The definite article 'the' is used in fixed expressions such as 'the Archbishop of Canterbury' and 'the Canterbury Tales'. After Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was killed inside the cathedral in 1170, the city became a special place for Christian visitors to travel to.
