   Martyrs' Memorial

   The Martyrs' Memorial in Oxford is a striking Gothic Revival monument commemorating the 16th-century Oxford Martyrs—bishops Thomas Cranmer, Hugh Latimer, and Nicholas Ridley—who were executed for their Protestant faith during Queen Mary I’s reign. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and completed in 1843, the memorial stands near the site of their martyrdom and symbolizes religious conviction and the English Reformation’s legacy.
