The historic prominence of Canterbury has been well documented through the ages, from the 12th century martyrdom of Thomas Becket when he was murdered in the legendary Cathedral, to the famous Canterbury Tales as penned by Geoffrey Chaucer. Chaucer's writings were inspired by Becket's martyrdom and the subsequent pilgrimages to the local Cathedral which has never ceased to be one the world’s most significant religious buildings.
