Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Becket's on junction of Gore Road and Woodnesborough Lane In the privately owned grounds of Becket's is the entrance to Eastry caves. There is much speculation as to the origin of the labyrinth of caves, which are beautifully carved and extend in galleries to nearly seven hundred feet; these caves may have been used for secret worship in times of religious persecution and were possibly the grain storage chambers for Britain. from http://www.open-sandwich.co.uk/places_to_visit/villages/eastry.htm It is said that Thomas a Becket hid in these caves before making his escape to France in 1164.
