Thomas Becket is also commonly known as Thomas à Becket, although this form seems not to have been contemporaneous, but a post-reformation adornment, possibly in imitation of Thomas à Kempis.. Historian John Strype wrote in his Memorials of Thomas Cranmer (1694): "It is a small error, but being so oft repeated deserveth to be observed into corrected. The name of that archbishop was Thomas Becket. If the vulgar did formerly, as it doth now, call him 'Thomas à Becket' their mistake is not to be followed by learned men." Notwithstanding, the Oxford Dictionary of English, the New Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors, and Chambers Biographical Dictionary all prefer St. Thomas à Becket.
