Did St. Thomas Aquinas Ever Go To England?

[alcuin18]

Hello. I wasn’t really sure where to put this question so ‘traditional’ seemed the closest to ‘history’. I remember reading once (though I can’t remember where) that St. Thomas Aquinas may have gone to England at some point in his life, possibly to Oxford. Has anyone else heard of this, and is there any account or proof of it? I’m writing a medieval mystery and would very much like to know if there is any substantiation of this.

Thank you and Pax Christi

I don’t know if he visited England, a cursory search reveals that the nearest he may have come was France of course.

However I found these:
The best biography of St. Thomas Aquinas in English is Vernon Joseph Bourke, Aquinas’ Search for Wisdom (1965). Other useful biographies are Martin C. D’Arcy, St. Thomas Aquinas (1930; rev. ed. 1953), and Jacques Maritain, St. Thomas Aquinas (trans. 1931; rev. ed. 1958). The best work on the background of Thomas’s writings is Marie Dominique Chenu, Towards Understanding Saint Thomas (1950; trans. 1964).

Perhaps the answer might be found in one of those. Sorry but I’ve no doubt more knowledgeable posters will reply in time.
God bless.
