Actes and Monuments

The restored 2nd edition of Foxe’s Actes and Monuments” – The Book of Martyrs – is now back, in pride of place, in Norwich Cathedral’s Historic Library.

This woodcut depicts Thomas Bilney,  sticking his finger in the candle flame on the night before he was burned at the stake , at Lollard’s Pit on 19th August 1531.
