Becket's Crown n. the name given to the eastern apse or circular tower of Canterbury Cathedral, England. [ < the genitive of the name of St Thomas Becket, who was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 + crown n., after post-classical Latin corona (from 13th cent. in British sources in this sense); compare post-classical Latin corona (also corona ecclesiae ‘crown of the church’), denoting the circular apse of a great church behind the choir (from 12th cent. in British and continental sources), or perhaps after the use of post-classical Latin corona to denote the crown of the head (from 12th cent. in British sources in accounts of the martyrdom of Thomas Becket, the top of whose skull was said to have been cut off; this was sometimes believed to have been kept as a relic, compare quotations 1726 and 1845), but the origin of the name is much disputed. Compare St Thomas's Crown n. at Phrases 6.]
