In 1925 the Anglican church of Our Lady of Grace and St Thomas of Canterbury was built by Sir Walter Tapper. It is in Gorton, a poor inner suburb of Manchester, which was perhaps the most Low Church diocese in the country. How they got away with it is beyond me - I think that the dedication originated from the saints being the favourites of the lady who paid for it. It is in Baroque Anglo-Catholic style, which with the dedication, points very clearly to it being part of the claim of the Romanising Party within the Church of England that the Reformation in all respects was a bad thing.
It is disappointing that focusing as the title does it is clearly a secular history that basically ignores his sainthood. There is limited discussion about why he is canonised and clearly there is more interest in the reformation history. John Guy would have been a better choice to present. His book is a fair account that focuses on Thomas and does not shy away from the conflict between Henry and Thomas et al.
I just Google it, I can't believe I forgot 😅 it was Jesus Chist 😳 and forgot to use a question mark in that last comment, Should I have used a: before The name 😳 Jesus, so much to phantom ,am I thinking 🤔 to much @

The blood cult of this man is only outstripped by the Jesus son of Mary cult.
