[edit] Controversy section

It's unverified and contains weasel words - it doesn't have a ring of truth to it, as all the old cathedrals in England used to be RC and now are not. This is just fact, not "controversial", and this is the first time I have heard of such a strange complaint. It's creating a negative section in the article for spurious reasons IMO. I'll remove it in a week or so (feel free to revert) if it isn't improved or discussed here. Lethesl 11:28, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I completely agree, and actually removed the section as part of general improvements to the article before seeing your comments here. I did a quick Web search first just to make sure, and there is no evidence of "any" Catholics making such a complaint, let alone "many." HVH (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stained glass

The caption with regard to the image of Becket was misleading. The window, which is quite large and contains many narrative panels, was assembled in 1919. This does not mean that the invidual parts of the window, such as the portrait of St Thomas, were created from fragments at this date. It means that the various intact panels from several windows were put together in a single window, which is exactly the same process as took place with the typological "Poor Man's Bible window" and the very large west window and south transept window.
