 During Henry VIII's reign over England in the 16th century, St. Thomas was removed from medieval manuscripts in an attempt to abolish idolatry, as the Crown took control of the English Church. St. Thomas was known as a martyr who was killed by Henry II's men for voicing his opinion to keep church and state separate. His shrine was destroyed by order of Henry VIII, and historians believe that his removal from history was especially important because he had stood up to the king and been canonized for doing so. The Royal Proclamation of 16 November 1538 demanded that "Thomas Becket shall not be esteemed, named, reputed and called a saint... and that his images and pictures throughout the whole realm shall be plucked down, and avoided out of all churches, chapels, and other places; and that from henceforth the days used to be festival in his name, shall not be observed, nor the service, office, antiphons, collects, and prayers in his name read, but rased and put out of all the books."<ref>http://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2011/09/erasing-becket.html</ref>

 After the Cathedral was completed, in the early 18th century, a debate began around decorating the interior of the Cathedral, which Queen Victoria famously called “dull, cold, dreary, and dingy.” This debate was likely due to the English church’s unwillingness to be associated with the Catholic church. After all, mosaics were a largely Roman art-form, and thus too closely associated with the Vatican.

 The Fourth St. Paul’s Cathedral, the building preceding the current cathedral, was a link to the Catholic practice that occurred in England before the English reformation, which was put into action by King Henry VIII. The building itself was decaying, and during the acts of reformation, much of the catholic portions of the interior was destroyed, and the catholic sites in the churchyard, including chapels and cloisters, were sold off as properties after being seized by the Crown.
