Canterbury Cathedral
The Precincts, Canterbury, England
Legendary · held by 216 collectors
Canterbury Cathedral is the mother church of the Anglican Communion, seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and site of the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170 — which made it the most important pilgrimage destination in medieval England. Chaucer's pilgrims walked here. The cathedral's Norman crypt is the oldest in England; the Corona Chapel holds Becket's skull reliquary. Faith and violence, inseparable.
