Monday 28th September 2026. Photos at 11:17 We are the Anglican church that serves the Parish of Pagham, in the Diocese of Chichester. You may have heard us called ‘St Thomas à Becket’s’, after our patron saint https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church... https://paghamaldwickchurch.org/about/ https://learning.canterbury-cathedral... On 29 December 1170, Archbishop Thomas Becket was confronted at the Cathedral by four knights. Becket had argued with King Henry II over the division of power between the King and the Church and had excommunicated some of Henry’s followers. The knights demanded that Becket pardon these men and when he refused to do so, one of the knights sliced off the top of Becket’s head with a sword. Soon after his death local people began to report miracles associated with items which were covered in Becket’s blood. Becket became a saint and his tomb at the Cathedral became a pilgrimage site. https://maps.app.goo.gl/T21poRGR5q6mv...    • Churches, inside/ out or drone      • Haven, Church Farm. Pagham activities      • St Mary's Church. Sudeley Castle estate. T...   I Found an Answer by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
