The Legacy of Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral

This exhibit displays the many shrines that have been made in Canterbury Cathedral since the death of Thomas Becket in 1170. These shrines represent the love and respect the community had for him and how they respected that he gave his life for the church. This is why he was canonized in 1173 and became St.Thomas. His death and legacy still lives on in the church today and his impact will never be forgotten.
