  • Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint
    Thomas Becket: Chancellor, Archbishop and Saint 7 July: feast day commemorating the translation of his remains from the crypt to Trinity Chapel shrine in the cathedral, 800 years ago, in 1220. 29 December: St. Thomas’s Becket’s feast day, commemorating his martyrdom in Canterbury Cathedral, 850 years ago, in 1170. An extensive programme of events to mark these anniversaries was planned by the cathedral at Canterbury, but because of the Covid-19 pandemic, all have been postponed until 29 December at the earliest. A pilgrimage along the medieval Pilgrim’s Way from Southwark to Canterbury has been cancelled. Holy Trinity Church’s commemorations, centred on our own medieval Becket chantry chapel, have likewise had to be postponed, but the Becket exhibition in the church celebrates these significant 2020 dual anniversaries. Thomas Becket was born c. 1118, in Cheapside, London, son of a Norman merchant father. He rose from these modest beginnings to become a powerful adversary of his king, Henry II, and one of the most venerated medieval Christian saints. Educated first at the Augustinian Merton Priory, then in London and Paris, he started his career serving the city sheriffs as a clerk and accountant; he then became a member of the illustrious household of Archbishop Theobald, who appointed Becket as his agent, and sent by him to study civil and canon law at Bologna and Auxerre. In 1154, Theobald made him Archdeacon of Canterbury, an important and lucrative post, and less than three months later he recommended him to Henry II as Lord Chancellor. In this post, Becket had the opportunity to distinguish himself in initiatives no longer associated with Chancellor; he razed castles, repaired the Tower of London, conducted embassies, mustered and led troops in battle, and was trusted completely by Henry, becoming his close companion and intimate friend, both at court and in the hunting field.

Which is the Tomb, and which the Cenotaph ?—the beautiful alabaster monument at the feet of the Black Prince? or the altar-slab of Bethersden marble at All Saints', with its vacant cell, which once contained a fine memorial brass ? Is the claim that All Saints' contains the remains of the Archbishop "a fond thing vainly invented" by the Maidstone people ? or are they, on the contrary, justified in holding that Canterbury's claim to the same simply originated in the pride and vanity of the monks of Christ Church ? These are questions which have been raised for the last three hundred years, while the rival claims of Canterbury and Maidstone to possess the ashes of the Archbishop have each found support from the ablest antiquaries; and it is not a little remarkable that opinion on such an important subject should so long have varied among those best able to judge, while all the time means were at hand to settle the point beyond the possibility of doubt. But although so many who wrote on the matter have differed in their views of it, several of them have pronounced their opinions in a half-hearted way; while some have attempted to shroud theirs in a kind of Delphic utter- ance, so that their readers should be left in a state of uncertainty as to what was really intended to be conveyed.

  • The Medieval Monuments
    Canterbury Cathedral The Medieval Monuments An Illustrated Handlist for Cathedral Guides and Assistants Leslie A Smith F.S.A. Opening of Hubert Walter’s Tomb, 1890 Canterbury Cathedral Archives I Canterbury Cathedral – The Medieval Monuments The Monuments: The main function of medieval monuments was to evoke prayers for the dead. The concept of purgatory, which became established by the 12th century, held that the journey through hell could be shortened by good deeds in life, such as endowing churches, and by prayers for the departed after death. Hence, in wills, money would be left for priests, or if very wealthy, a college of priests, to pray for the souls of the dead. Archbishop Courtenay set up such a college at Maidstone, as did Archbishop Kemp at Wye. A prominent position of burial in church or cathedral was much sought after as it would attract more prayers and thus speed the soul towards attaining eternal celestial peace. The Commemorated: Only five tombs bear the names of those commemorated. These are four with brass chamfer inscriptions:- The Black Prince; 1376; Archbishop Chichele, 1443; Archbishop Bourchier, 1448; Archbishop Kemp, 1453/4, and the alabaster tomb of Lady Mohun, 1404. Tombs are therefore attributed on the basis of dating on stylistic grounds, backed up by documentary evidence such as is contained in wills, archive records of changes to the cathedral fabric and the notes of interested visitors, heralds on visitations, e.g. Richard Scarlett 1599 and John Philipot 1613-15, and antiquaries such as John Weever, Ancient Funerall Monuments, 1631 and William Somner, The Antiquities of Canterbury, 1640.

  • To Be a Pilgrim
    To be a Pilgrim Until the Covid-19 lockdown, C21 pilgrims were travelling the ancient pilgrim routes in the British Isles and throughout the world, making journeys to sacred places and following the age- old traditions that stretch back through the history of nearly every major religion. Jews to Jerusalem’s Western (Wailing) Wall Muslims journeyed to the Kaaba, Mecca Hindus travelled to Benares, to bathe in the Ganges Buddhists to Tibet, where the 52-kilometre walk around the sacred Mount Kailash has been popular with Tibetans for 15,000 years While we wait to be able to travel freely again, the British Pilgrimage Trust is encouraging would- be pilgrims to make plans for the future and meantime to participate in their weekly virtual pilgrimages as an antidote to effects of Covid-19 on our physical, emotional and spiritual health: https://britishpilgrimage.org/pilgrimage-and-the-coronavirus/ Advertising 2020 as the year of Cathedrals, Year of Pilgrimage, the Association of English Cathedrals also offers similar online pilgrimage opportunities at: https://www.englishcathedrals.co.uk/latest-news/online-pilgrimage/ There are numerous other online suggestions, including the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham’s virtual pilgrimage to Walsingham: https://www.birminghamdiocese.org.uk/news/a-virtual-visit-to-walsingham 1 Some people who go on pilgrimage have no religious faith. They go for a multitude of reasons, perhaps because they are at a crossroads in their lives or relationships and so take the opportunity to leave behind the busyness of the world, to seek a time of quiet and reflection, when they can ‘walk through’ the issues on their minds, and find peace.

  • Burial-Places of the Archbishops of Canterbury
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 20 1893 ( 276 ) BURIAL-PLACES OE THE ARCHBISHOPS OE CANTERBURY. BY CANON SCOTT ROBERTSON. ARCHBISHOP BENSON is the 93rd actual occupant o£ the Primatial See of Canterbury, but Eoger Walden, who was intruded into Archbishop Arundel's throne, for a few years, is not usually counted as one of the Primates ; so that we reckon only 91 predecessors of the present Primate as legitimate Archbishops. Another prelate (Reginald Fitzjoceline, Bishop of Bath) was elected to the Primacy, but he died before he could be enthroned. John de TJfford (Lord Chancellor) died before he could be consecrated. Of the 91 pre- decessors of Archbishop Benson, the ashes of 58 lie in Canterbury; but all of these lived and died before the accession of Queen Elizabeth. 7 were buried at Lambeth, in or beside the parish church there (viz., PARKER, BANCROFT, TENISON, HUTTON, SECKER, CORN- w AM/IS, and MOORE). 6 were interred at Croydon (viz., GKINDAL, WHITGIFT, SHELDON, WAKE, POTTER, and HERRING). 5 are buried at Addington (viz., MANNERS-SUTTOH, *Howi/EY, *SUMNER, LONCKDEY, and *TAIT). 3 mingled with the dust at Oxford. (1) CRANMER was burned there in 155f. (2) LATTD, after his execution in 164f, was buried at Barking All Hallows, but in 1663 his remains were carried to tbe Chapel of St. John's College, Oxford. (3) JUXON (who, when Bishop of London, attended Charles I. upon the scaffold) was also interred at Oxford, in the Chapel of St. John's College, in 1663. 1 lies in London at the Church of St. Lawrence, Jewry.

  • Comparing Pilgrim Souvenirs and Trinity Chapel Windows at Canterbury Cathedral
    MIRATOR SYYSKUU/SEPTEMBER/SEPTEMBER 2001 1 Comparing Pilgrim Souvenirs and Trinity Chapel Windows at Canterbury Cathedral An Exploration of Context, Copying, and the Recovery of Lost Stained Glass* Sarah Blick The similarity is striking. A pair of medieval pilgrim ampullae closely resemble stained glass windows from Trinity Chapel in Canterbury Cathedral in their composition, iconography, and even their inscription.1 This paper will examine the reasons for this similarity from three points of view, showing how deeply linked these objects were. First, uniting monumental and miniature art, these objects were both created to promote the cult of St. Thomas Becket and his power of miraculous healing via blood-tinged water. Second, their likeness helped pilgrims, who saw the stained glass window and purchased the ampullae, remember their visit to the Cathedral. The pilgrim souvenirs sparked their memories by copying the sites they experienced. These replications reveal much about the nature of copying in the Middle Ages. Third, the close copy of the windows by the ampullae allows art historians to glimpse a medieval window that was shattered centuries ago. Pilgrim Souvenirs and Canterbury Stained Glass Windows The story begins with two tin pilgrim ampullae2 made before 1220 in Canterbury, England, that were found centuries later, one in France (now in the Cluny Museum) and one in Norway (now in the Historical Museum in Bergen, Norway).3 Of the two, the Cluny ampulla (Fig. 1) is in better condition, retaining much of its neck and the stabilizing outer band, whereas the neck of the Bergen ampulla (Fig. 2 and 3) has been torn off, possibly by a pilgrim eager for the Canterbury Water inside.

Canterbury Cathedral The story of Canterbury Cathedral began in the year 597 when a group of monks led by St Augustine arrived in Kent. They had been sent by the Pope in Rome on a special mission to spread Christianity across England. Augustine based himself in Canterbury and set down his seat to become the first Archbishop of Canterbury. For over 1400 years people have been coming to the Cathedral to pray and gather for events and services. You will enter the Cathedral through the South West Door. This will take you into a huge space called the Nave. The Nave The Nave is actually one of the newest bits of the Cathedral, but given that it was completed over 600 years ago it is still very old by most standards. It is the main body of the Cathedral and is a place where people have gathered together throughout the ages for services and also more recently events such as Remembrance, graduation and concerts.
