The Parrot pub claims it was built in 1370 and is one of the oldest pubs in Canterbury, although it was formerly known as St Radigund's Hall. It is on St Radigund's St at the inside of the sharp ben where it goes from being east-west to northwest-southeast.
It is indeed a delightful old building and the pub has a wonderful menu and some nice beers. I shall be reviewing it properly as soon as the lockdown is over.
In The Canterbury Tales Geoffrey Chaucer mentions "The sparrowhawk, parrot and the popinjay" but he is referring to birds, not pubs.
