Thomas à Becket

Note to royal couple: Stay away from Canterbury Cathedral, where Thomas à Becket was whacked near the stairs to the crypt.

It was in this chapel that Thomas à Becket had first solemnized mass after becoming archbishop.

St. Thomas à Becket, though in a circuitous way, had brought deliverance!

It was our Thomas à Becket, who spent part of an exile in Lyons, who seems to have suggested a church on this spot.

There is no building of special interest excepting the church, which is dedicated to St Thomas à Becket.

This was Thomas à-Becket, a man memorable for the great glory and the bitter reproaches he has met with from posterity.
