St Pancras Church, Canterbury, was excavated in 1900 by Hope who
found an early structure built largely of Roman brick and consisting
of a nave and an eastern apse which was replaced in the 14thc by a
square chancel.
Wm Thorne, a late 14thc chronicler, dated the first structure to 597
and the excavation tends to confirm this. (2-3)
