St Thomas of Canterbury Church, Canterbury, Parish church in central Canterbury, England
The Gothic Revival church features pointed arches, detailed stone carvings, and large stained glass windows, including a double rose window above the altar.
Built in 1874 on the site of a medieval church, the structure retains the original St Mary Magdalen's Tower from the previous building.
The Martyrs' Chapel contains a shrine with relics of Thomas Becket, including a piece of his vestment and a fragment of bone.
The church holds daily services at noon, with additional masses on Saturdays at 6 PM and four different time slots on Sundays.
During the 1942 Blitz, the church received additional relics and Stations of the Cross from Westminster Cathedral as donations following local damage.
