Thomas Becket

 Lil (niece in-law) and I attended a talk put on by the Friends of Canterbury Cathedral. I took out life membership in the friends 16 years ago when my mother died at aged 97.

The talk by a Cathedral guide was very well researched and documented the life of Thomas Becket in 1160’s prior his murder in Canterbury Cathedral. There will be a part two of the talk in November.

The Cathedral was looking magnificent on this sunny day.
