About Fencing in Canterbury
Canterbury in Kent has drawn pilgrims for more than 800 years, ever since the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in the cathedral in 1170 turned his shrine into one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Europe. That pilgrimage inspired Geoffrey Chaucer to write The Canterbury Tales between 1387 and 1400, a collection of stories told by fictional travellers journeying from Southwark to the cathedral along what is now known as the Becket Way. Although Henry VIII destroyed the shrine itself in 1538, pilgrims and visitors still walk the historic route to Canterbury Cathedral today.
