Overview

Bishops, teenagers, men, women, the elderly, and the blind—none was spared the cruel vengeance of Mary Tudor in her attempt to rid her realm of all who followed the Protestant faith. Across England and into Wales are memorials to some of the more than 280 martyrs who died during Mary’s brief but terrible reign. Their agony in the often slow-burning fires is a testimony of firm faith and strong conviction. This guide tells the stories of a few of those brave men and women. Large drawings and maps guide the traveler to the key locations associated with the lives and ministries of these great saints. A detailed timeline and color photos makes this guide equally useful for the armchair traveler.
