The open space now occupied by Dane John Gardens has been enjoyed by the citizens of Canterbury since at least the 12th century. They were laid out in their present form by Alderman Simmons in 1790. They were restored in 1999 with the assistance of the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Dane John Mound was once part of a motte-and-bailey castle dating from the 11th century.
