Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most celebrated cathedrals in Britain.  The destination of Chaucer's famous pilgrims, Canterbury is the site of the shrine to St. Thomas a Becket located on the spot where he was slain by assassins sent by the King. The Unofficial Canterbury Website contains many images and much informative text. The On-Line Guide to Canterbury shows much of the town as well as the cathedral. Finally, the archeological website tells the interesting story of the recent discovery of a large Saxon Cathedral concealed for many centuries beneath the floors stones of the Medieval structure.
