Canterbury

Early this morning we took a coach bus to Canterbury, which is about 2 hours away from London. Our tour guide, Hugh, took us on a walking tour of the town. We then went to Mass at St. Thomas Becket Church. Later on in the afternoon, we took a tour of the Canterbury Cathedral where St. Thomas Becket was martyred in the year 1170 while in the church. This cathedral used to be the Catholic Cathedral! But it is now Anglican. This is the cathedral where the Archbishop of Canterbury leads the Anglicans from. Here are some pictures from today:
