Note 86 — Chapter V · THE ANGLES AND SAXONS IN BRITAIN
Reading edition
"The present church of St. Martin near Canterbury is not the old one spoken of by Bede, as it is generally thought to be, but is a structure of the thirteenth century, though it is probable that the materials of the original church were worked up in the masonry in its reconstruction, the walls being still composed in part of Roman bricks."—J. A. Giles, Bede's Ecclesiastical History, p. 39.
