Tuesday is the 450th anniversary of the martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII and architect, under God, of the English Reformation in the reign of Edward VI.

His 'recantation' immediately before his execution is one of the most dramatic events in Church history.

Interesting, I read through his story in Foxe's Book of Martyers again this week.
