Children's Version St Thomas of Canterbury Brentwood Town Pilgrimage Children's Version Welcome to your very own pilgrimage. Brentwood’s church is named after St Thomas of Canterbury. St Thomas was made a Saint after he was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral. Christians look up to St Thomas as a very holy and good person. After his death more than 800 years ago, Christians used to walk to Canterbury in his honour. They were called pilgrims. The pilgrims used to stop in Brentwood on their way. To help them, a chapel was built in Brentwood 800 years ago. You can still see the ruins in front of the Baytree centre. You can walk your own pilgrimage around Brentwood this summer. Look out for the stops on the way and learn more about towns on the route between York and Canterbury. Mark your journey on the map and see how far the pilgrims had to walk by adding up all the numbers on the location signs. Don’t worry, our pilgrimage is much shorter!

In 1899, Guglielmo Marconi opened the world's first "wireless" factory under the name 'The Marconi Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company. In June 1920 the factory was the location of the first official publicised sound broadcast in the United Kingdom featuring Dame Nellie Melba, using two 450- foot (140-metre) radio broadcasting masts.
