Canterbury Cathedral
The Precincts, Canterbury, England
Legendary
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.
