The shrine of Thomas à Becket (St. Thomas of Canterbury) who was murdered in the cathedral 29 Dec., 1170, was in pre-Reformation times a favourite object of pilgrimage; and it was a company of pilgrims to this shrine that Chaucer made the narrators of his ‘Canterbury Tales’, to which some of the attributive uses refer.c1405 (c1387–95) G. Chaucer Canterbury Tales Prol. (Hengwrt) (2003) l. 16 Thanne longen folk to goon on pylgrimages And specially from euery shyres ende Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende The holy blisful martir for to seke That hem hath holpen whan þ^t they weere seeke.

A. adj. attributive.

1. In phrases referring either (a) to the pilgrims, as Canterbury bells; (b) to the tales told on the way (or Chaucer's work so called), as Canterbury tale or story, in later times often taken as a long tedious story, a ‘friar's tale’, a fable, a cock-and-bull story; (c) or applied by the Puritans to the hierarchical position of Canterbury, as Canterbury trick.
