Trinity Chapelat the east end ofCanterbury Cathedralforms part of aUNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built under the supervision of the master-masonWilliam the Englishmanas a shrine for the relics of St.Thomas Becket. The shrine became one of the most popularpilgrimagesites in England.

The chapel was constructed between 1179 and 1184,replacing a much smaller chapel of the same name destroyed by fire, along with much of the rest of the choir, in 1174. Its predecessor was where Becket celebrated his first mass following his installation as Archbishop of Canterbury.

In 1220, Becket\'s remains were translated from his first tomb to the finished chapel. As a result of this event, the chapel became a major pilgrimage site, inspiringGeoffrey Chaucerto writeThe Canterbury Talesin 1387 and with routes (e.g. from Southwark (Chaucer\'s route) and the Pilgrim\'s Way to/from Winchester) converging on the cathedral. Becket\'s shrine stood until it was destroyed in 1540. This was done on orders from KingHenry VIIIas vengeance for his ancestor,Henry II. The king also destroyed Becket\'s bones and ordered that all mention of his name be obliterated.The pavement where the shrine stood in the chapel is today marked by a lighted candle.
