St Thomas' of Canterbury RC Church Review

Starting fresh: St Thomas' Church in Canterbury is a Roman Catholic parish church that almost disappeared from the Catholic faith in Canterbury under King Henry VIII and after Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. The Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury was built in the Gothic Revival style on the site of a medieval church, which was built in 1875 and opened on April 13, 1875. Since then, Catholicism has taken root again in Canterbury. The treasure of this church is the sacred object of Thomas Beckett: a piece of clothing and a bone on his body. After Thomas Beckett was murdered at Canterbury Cathedral, the monks began collecting Thomas Beckett's relics, including his linen coat. These relics have been in Italy since the 1220s. I don't know how these relics came into Italy. In the late 19th century, Baroness Mary Hales acquired these Saints of Thomas Beckett: a fragment of clothing and a bone in his body, and gave them to Thomas Church.

This is a Catholic church in Canterbury located at Bagot 59. The exterior of the church is not very eye-catching, but the interior is very artistic and there are many beautiful murals that are very much appreciated. The church is free to visitors.
