From the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew, Peterborough, Northamptonshire. Although the set of offices for St Thomas of Canterbury has been largely excised, it represents the first set composed after Thomas's death, by Benedict, a monk of Canterbury who had witnessed Thomas’s murder in 1170. Benedict became prior of Canterbury in 1175 and abbot of Peterborough in 1177, and portions of the beginning and the end of his set of chants remain in this antiphoner.
