Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1815-1881) was born in Cheshire into an ecclesiastical family and educated at Rugby and Oxford. The essays forming the Historical Memorials of Canterbury were expanded from an article and from lectures delivered in the city and were first published in late 1854: 'here his gift of writing powerful dramatic narrative found full scope, particularly in his account of the murder of Becket.' An appendix prints medieval accounts of the Archbishop's shrine and documents from the Cathedral Treasury that relate to it. The Plan of Canterbury Cathedral at the time of Becket's murder depicts routes and spots linked to the event in red. KENT CANTERBURY KENT - EAST KENT CHURCHES HISTORY KENT.
