Cathedral At Christ Church
A most prized possession of this cathedral - the Thomas Beckett stained glass. Apparently Henry VIII wanted the Beckett "cult" to disappear and ordered anything with his face to be destroyed. To preserve this beautiful work of art and religious devotion, they removed Beckett's face - you may be able to see this in the middle of the 3 panels.
