assasination of Archbishop Thomas a Becket in the 12th century. I was
glad to hear that Henry VIII didn't order it but that 4 knights seeking to
gain favor with the King took it upon themselves. The tour guide told
us to give us an idea how old this Cathedral is, that it was built before
Chrisopher Columbus discovered America. You could see where the
stone on the stairs was worn in concave pattern where so many people
have walked over the years.
