But amid the glamour of mammon, there stands this hidden ancient gem, a spiritual sanctuary of the Middle Ages, a haven of peace and tranquility. St Etheldreda’s Church was the town Chapel of the Bishops of Ely from about 1250 to 1570. It is the oldest Catholic Church in England and one of only two remaining buildings in London from the reign of Edward I. It was once one of the most influential places in London with a palace of vast grounds. It was like an independent state, the Bishop of Ely’s place in London or Ely Place as it is now called, and its Chapel took its name from one of England’s most popular saints of the day, Etheldreda. Return to your hotel to enjoy dinner and overnight.

This morning enjoy a panoramic city tour of London including Piccadilly Square, Regent Street and Trafalgar Square. Depending on the day of the week, enjoy the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace is the London residence and administrative headquarters of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the center of state occasions and royal hospitality. Then celebrate private mass at Westminster Cathedral. The Cathedral site was originally known as Bulinga Fen and formed part of the marsh around Westminster. It was reclaimed by the Benedictine monks who were the builders and owners of Westminster Abbey, and subsequently used as a market and fairground. After the reformation the land was used in turn as a maze, a pleasure garden and as a ring for bull-baiting but it remained largely waste ground. In the 17th century a part of the land was sold by the Abbey for the construction of a prison which was demolished and replaced by an enlarged prison complex in 1834. The site was acquired by the Catholic Church in 1884. The Cathedral Church of Westminster, which is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, was designed in the Early Christian Byzantine style by the Victorian architect John Francis Bentley. The foundation stone was laid in 1895 and the fabric of the building was completed eight years later. The awesome interior of the Cathedral, although incomplete, contains fine marble-work and mosaics. The fourteen Stations of the Cross, by the sculptor Eric Gill, are world renowned. Next, visit Westminster Abbey followed by St. Paul’s Cathedral. St Paul's Cathedral, the most recognizable feature of the London skyline, was completed by one of Britain’s most accomplished architects Sir Christopher Wren in 1711. The marble floors, expansive dome murals and Victorian mosaics have provided the backdrop in recent times for the state funerals of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher as well as Jubilee celebrations. Destroyed and rebuilt after the Great Fire of London and an unlikely survivor of the Blitz, the Cathedral has earned a place among London's most popular sights. Climb into the iconic dome for stunning views across London, try out the acoustics of the Whispering Gallery and head down to the crypt to see the tombs of heavyweight historical figures like Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. Return to your hotel and enjoy dinner and overnight.

Today enjoy an excursion to Cambridge and Walsingham. On arrival in Cambridge, visit King’s College. King's College was founded in 1441 by Henry VI (1421-71) and is one of the 31 colleges in the University of Cambridge. King's has an outstanding academic record and is also world-famous for its Chapel and choir. Then continue to Walsingham and visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. According to the reputed Marian apparition to Lady Richeldis, the Blessed Virgin Mary fetched her soul from England to Nazareth during a religious ecstasy to show the house where the Holy Family once lived and was then tasked to build an imitation of the home in which the Annunciation of Archangel Gabriel occurred. The building structure came to be known as the "Holy House", and later became both a Shrine and the focus of pilgrimage to Walsingham. The wooden image was carved in Oberammergau, Germany, and was once associated with the Virgin of Mercy under the venerated Marian title of Our Lady of Ransom, sometimes locally worded as "Our Lady of the Dowry". The popularity of the Marian cult gradually localized the place of devotion as "Our Lady of Walsingham". Next, celebrate private mass at Slipper Chapel. Return to London. Dinner on your own this evening. Overnight in London.

Today enjoy a trip to Canterbury. On arrival, enjoy a walking tour of Canterbury. Then visit Canterbury Cathedral. Founded in 602 by St. Augustine, a missionary sent by Pope Gregory the Great, Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest Christian sites in England and has played a big part in the history of the country. A spiritual center from Augustine’s time, Canterbury Cathedral really rose to prominence as a place of pilgrimage with the martyrdom of Bishop Thomas Beckett in 1170. The infamous slaying of the Bishop in this Cathedral on the orders of the King he had defied was the inspiration behind Geoffrey Chaucer’s seminal work Canterbury Tales. Canterbury Cathedral is a World Heritage Site where you can see an 11th century Romanesque crypt, 12th century Gothic quire and 14th century nave as well as the peaceful ruins of St. Augustine’s Abbey and St. Martin’s Church.
