Saint’s Biography

Saint Peter of Canterbury was Benedictine monk in Rome until, in 596, he was sent by Pope Gregory the Great with Saint Augustine of Canterbury to England. In 602, he became the first abbot in the Saint Peter and Paul at Canterbury.

Death

He was drowned 607AD at Ambleteu, near Boulogne, France on route to Rome to report on the success of the mission. Legend says that the locals buried him in unhallowed ground, but later re-interred the body when lights hovered over the grave each night.
