In 1170, Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in the northwest Martyrdom, making it an important pilgrimage center. The story is beautifully told in Geoffrey Chaucer\u2019s Canterbury Tales, with the spot where Becket was murdered by Henry the 2nd knight is marked by a flickering candle and a beautiful altar. Once through the superbly decorated 16th century Christ Church Gate, enjoy the great view of the cathedral crowned with soaring towers. In the Cathedral enjoy the beautiful and detailed decorations, the magnificent Medieval Stained-Glass windows, and more. Look for the 12th century Trinity Chapel above St Thomas Becket crypt and tomb, and the tombs of Edward the &#8220;Black Prince&#8221; and King Henry IV and his wife. Enjoy the Romanesque arches of the crypt, and the well-preserved carvings on the capitals of the columns.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","attraction-type":[12],"class_list":["post-10838","attraction","type-attraction","status-publish","hentry","attraction-type-church"],"yoast_head":"<!--
