St. Dunstan's Millenium

A major exhibition is being held in Canterbury as part of the celebrations to mark the millenium of the death of Dunstan, Abbot of Glastonbury and Archbishop of Canterbury (959-988). In his lifetime, Dunstan was a major promoter of monastic reform, and after his death his shrine came to be the most important in Canterbury Cathedral until the murder of Thomas Becket.

From April until mid-June 1988 there will be an exhibition in the Royal Museum, High Street, Canterbury, entitled "St. Dunstan in History", which will contain many Canterbury Manuscripts and other objects associated with St. Dunstan, his times, and his later cult.
