To the Glory of God
And in Grateful Commemoration
of His Servants
Thomas Cranmer
Nicholas Ridley
Hugh Latimer
Prelates of the Church
of England
Who Near This Spot
Yielded Their Bodies
To Be Burned
Bearing Witness to the Sacred Truths
Which They Had
Affirmed and Maintained
Against the Errors
of the Church of Rome
And Rejoicing That
To Them It Was Given
Not Only to Believe in Christ
But Also to Suffer for His Sake
this Monument was Erected
by Public Subscription
in the Year of our Lord God
M.DCCCXLI
