Canterbury Cathedral

 Today was a long walking tour of Canterbury Cathedral.  

On the way to Canterbury Cathedral we stopped at St Thomas Catholic Church.  A small church but with relics of Thomas Becket

For history buffs Canterbury Cathedral where Thomas Becket was killed.  “Who shall rid me of this meddlesome priest”

Going back to 1070 the cathedral has undergone construction and renovation for over 900 years.  Overall we preferred this to Westminster Abbey.

After lunch we went to St Augustine’s Abbey.  This is the oldest church property in the UK and goes back to 600AD  in use until the dissolution of the church by Henry VIII
