| 520 | _a"Canterbury" by Gordon Home is a historical account published in the early 20th century that explores the rich history and significance of the city of Canterbury, particularly in relation to its famous cathedral and notable events such as the martyrdom of Thomas Becket. This book presents a vivid tapestry of the city’s medieval past, focusing on the interactions between religion, local traditions, and the pilgrimage culture surrounding the shrine of St. Thomas. The narrative begins with the historical backdrop of Canterbury, linking its ancient roots from the Roman period through to the establishment of the archbishopric and the subsequent rise of Christianity in England, largely due to the efforts of Augustine and Ethelbert. Home elaborates on the pivotal events leading up to Becket's murder in 1170 and the ensuing impact that turned Canterbury into a major pilgrimage site across Europe. In addition to detailing the architecture and specific locations within the city and its cathedral, the book captures the essence of the pilgrimage journey itself, urging modern visitors to appreciate the historical paths that lead to this iconic destination, while reflecting on the cultural layers that make Canterbury a unique blend of history and reverence.
