St Thomas Becket

Sunday Sequence

Available for over a year

A bone believed to be a fragment of St Thomas Becket's elbow was carried into Canterbury Cathedral yesterday evening- 845 years after he was murdered there. The event ends a week-long pilgrimage from Hungary, where the relic was being kept, to London and to Kent. But who was Thomas Beckett and why is he significant to both Catholics and Protestants? Audrey spoke to Professor Anne Duggan of King's College, London, a Becket scholar.
