On 29 December 1170, Archbishop Thomas Becket of Canterbury was murdered in his cathedral by four of Henry II’s knights. Ten years later, Henry embarked on a massive rebuilding of Dover Castle. How were his actions, and Becket’s murder, connected?

Dover castle is the largest castle in England. There are over 3 miles of secret war time tunnels snaking deep into the cliff. Many of these tunnels are still undiscovered.
