Taking a Google Earth street view stroll down Broad Street in Oxford. Looked down a bit and saw this, the site of the martyrdom of bishops Latimer and Ridley on this day in 1555. This spot was outside the city wall then and it was here that together they were burned at the stake.

Today remember the faith and the courage of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley.🙏
