Thank you for the video.

Visited here a few years ago and made the trip up the hill to the Martyrs Memorial. Practically, there is a great view from here, but, spiritually, one is reminded of the stance these people took for our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and his word.

Interesting and well presented story. I went to Amersham Old Town last week and there is a large memorial to the Amersham Martrys at the top of the hill to the north-east of the town on the exact spot where this atrocity took place. You may have some trouble finding it though, because it is mostly hidden by a tall hedge planted in front, possibly put there because the town is ashamed to be associated with this event, and doesn't wish to be reminded.

Peter, I feel I must correct you in your assumption. Please take a look at the Amersham Museum website. The Museum regularly organises a guided Tudor Walk to learn about life - and death - in 16th century Amersham - food and drink, clothing, health and the Lollards martyrs. These walks are led by guides in Tudor costume and start from the museum at 2.30pm on Saturdays and the museum is also planning to commemorate the five hundred years’ anniversary of the events this year. The trees separate the memorial from the surrounding farmland, creating a quiet and reflective area to pay homage to those who died.

I always wondered who Thomas Harding was when I went to a school named after him in Chesham. Thankyou
