Portsmouth

St Thomas of Canterbury

This Romanesque style church, dedicated to Thomas Becket, dates back to 1182, with stories of the past hidden around each corner. Set at the historic heart of the city, Portsmouth Cathedral has been a part of its story for over 800 years. Uncover its deep connections with the Royal Navy and the seafaring community. See remnants of Lord Nelson’s flag from HMS Victory or visit the grave of the unknown crew member of the Mary Rose. There are illuminated works of art in its stained-glass windows illustrating stories of the past, from the martyred Thomas Becket to D-Day.
