 The new cathedral, constructed in imported tuff stone, was constructed a little farther from the river, and was well underway before Canute became a saint.Aelnoth of Canterbury, an English monk, reported the building of St Canute's in 1095 and described the miracles reported at the site of Canute's grave.When the first church of St. Canute was completed, a three-day fast was proclaimed for the entire kingdom and the remains of Canute and Benedict were moved to the cathedral.
