A FRIENDLY TALK
Becket – the Murder and What Happened Next?
Tuesday 18 November, 10:30-11:30 in the Clagett Auditorium
Almost every visitor to Canterbury has been told a version of Becket’s murder – even if it is only the nursery rhyme, Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.
But what really did happen in the lead up to the Archbishop’s assassination? Before the days of social media and television, news of Becket’s murder reverberated across Europe.
In the second of her talks, Cathedral Guide Maggie Price will explain what the effects of the aftershock of Becket’s demise meant for the church – in Rome as well as England – and also the citizens and Crown. Both immediately and for years after.
£10 Friends of Canterbury Cathedral; £15 non-members. Includes tea and coffee on arrival.
This event is organised by and in support of The Friends of Canterbury Cathedral (Registered Charity No 1210093).
