Main information
Content:
Protestant leaders Archbishop [[Oxford Martyrs|Cranmer]] and Bishops [[Oxford Martyrs|Ridley]] and [[Oxford Martyrs|Latimer]] were imprisoned by the Catholic Queen Mary accused of heresy. They were cross-examined at the [[Divinity Schools]] and later tried at [[St. Mary's Church]] and found guilty. Ridley and Latimer were the first to be burnt at the stake in what was the town ditch, but is now the site of [[Broad Street]]. Although Cranmer renounced his faith he was burnt at the stake having first thrust the hand he used to sign the recantation into the fire. A cross in [[Broad Street]] marks the spot where they were burnt at the stake, and Martyrs' Memorial was errected at the southern end of [[St. Giles']] in 1841.
