Dane John Garden is Canterbury's largest and most popular public park. The intriguing name comes from an English mangling of the Norman French 'donjon' (forerunner of our word 'dungeon'). In this case, the term does not refer to a prison, but to an early Norman castle founded by William the Conqueror.
