Saints in the window at christ church rb

Hugh Latimer - Under Henry VIII Latimer was bishop of Worcester. An advocate of the protestant reforms taking place on the continent he resigned his sea when Henry refused to allow them in England. His sermons concentrated on the ethical aspects of Christianity rather than doctrine. Still he was a most unwelcome voice to Mary as she attempted to return the church to the Roman fold.

Nicholas Ridley - served as chaplain to Cranmer and later helped to write the first Book of Common Prayer. When Edward died he was on the list of voices to be silenced by Mary in her efforts to return the church to the Pope. He and Latimer were burned at the stake 16 October, 1555.
