#OnThisDay in 1170, Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral by knights loyal to King Henry II. Becket’s martyrdom shocked Christendom and his shrine became a major site of pilgrimage in the medieval world. 📸 Getty

Meet 'Buddo', Britain's oldest depiction of a human. This whalebone figurine was found at Skara Brae in the 1800s, in a stone bed space. Lost twice, this figure is now on display in @StromnessMuseum Question is, is this a 6000 year old idol, or a child's toy? 📸 @emmalouwynjones
