Path To Sainthood
The efforts of Christ Church Canterbury to secure him the status of 'blessed' seem to have had only spasmodic and limited effect beyond English Benedictine circles. However, Lanfranc was honoured in 1931 when The Archbishop Lanfranc School was opened in Croydon, where he resided at the Old Palace. Christ Church University Canterbury have named their state of the art accommodation block Lanfranc House. He is also remembered in road names in London and Worthing, West Sussex.
He is revered as a saint at Pavia, Bec, and Bayeux, but not at Canterbury. His feast day is 28 May.
