Dungeness beach - full of atmosphere

Dungeness is undoubtedly the Marmite of Kent coastal resorts, but whether you find its atmosphere strange and stark or mesmeric and uniquely powerful (and not just in a nuclear sense) you can't fail to be impressed by the fresh fish dishes served slap on its shingle beach, its enormous sound mirrors (once you've fought through what locals refer to as 'the jungle' to reach them), or the extraordinary variety of wildlife.

So let's start with the food. You'll need to check via Facebook that's it's open, but the family-run Snack Shack usually operates Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 3.30pm. Located just off the road running parallel to the sea, you can't miss it thanks to the queues of people waiting to hand in their orders, though rest assured that snaking line does move quite quickly. They come for delights such as crab-stuffed baps and lobster rolls, and seasonal fish brought in daily on the owners' own boats, the Annalousion and The Doreen T, plus fried spuds, salads, drinks and cake. Seating is open-air only (think of the Shack as a robust sort of food van, with room for just staff and equipment inside) and consists of fewer tables and benches than there are customers, so bring rugs and cushions in case you need to eat picnic-style. If it's too cold or wet for al fresco dining, get your fish and chips at the Britannia Inn just up the road, which has indoor as well as outdoor dining options, once the former is permitted again.

On 29 December 1170, four of King Henry II’s knights murdered Archbishop Thomas Becket inside Canterbury Cathedral, scattering his blood and brains across the pavement. The killing, 850 years ago, marked the end of one of the most brilliant, divisive careers of England’s Middle Ages. Yet, in many ways, it was also a beginning.

News of Becket’s killing spread quickly and, in a matter of months, he had been transformed into one of the most famous martyrs in Christian history. Becket was canonised a mere three years after his death, while, within a decade, Canterbury monks had recorded 703 miracles related to the slain archbishop, and tens of thousands of visitors had flocked to the cathedral to venerate his remains. Supported by the circulation of new liturgies, miracle stories, sacred objects and holy relics, the cult of Becket soon dominated the landscape of Christendom, from Trondheim to Tarsus and Rochester to Reykjavik.

He was believed to be on his way to a football match at Selhurst Park but was last seen on Sutton High Street shortly after 2 pm that day. A review of circumstances led detectives to believe that Lee actually visited an unofficial youth club at St Dunstan's Church in Cheam, known locally as ‘the shed'. Detectives believe that Lee visited the shed on the afternoon of Saturday, September 10, the day of the last known sighting, where he witnessed someone being sexually assaulted. It is also believed that he was subjected to an assault in order to stop him from identifying and exposing the suspect, and that this assault proved fatal.
