From the pages of John Foxe's Acts and Monuments to captivating engravings and lithographs that have immortalized significant moments in time, this caption delves into the remarkable life and impact of the Bishop. One such moment frozen in time is "The martyrdom of Dr Ridley and Mr Latimer at Oxford.

This poignant image serves as a reminder of their sacrifice for their beliefs. Another powerful depiction comes from "A Table describing the burning" at Oxford where B.
