Badge, Pilgrim, St. Thomas Becket, 14th century

$7.95

Becket’s martyrdom in 1170 at the hands of King Henry II’s knights established Canterbury’s position as the principal English pilgrim shrine. It was to maintain this position until the mid 15th century, when it was overtaken in popularity by Walsingham and Windsor. Please note: This badge is fitted with a modern tie-type pin and clutch which will not mar clothing. Pin cannot be seen when the badge is afixed to clothing or hat. Description: The mitred bust of Becket within a hexagonal frame with beaded borders. Period: 14th C. Size: 36x42mm Material: Lead free pewter Original: Found in London.
