Canterbury Martyrs

For the Catholic martyrs of 1588, see Oaten Hill Martyrs.

The Canterbury Martyrs were 16th century English Protestant martyrs. They were executed around July 1555 for heresy, during the reign of Mary I. Their story is recorded in Foxe's Book of Martyrs.

The martyrs - John Bland and John Frankesh (ministers and preachers of the gospel), Nicholas Sheterden (rector of Adesham and Humphrey Middleton (vicar of Rolvindon) - were all burnt together in Canterbury, Kent. According to Foxe, they resigned themselves with Christian fortitude, fervently praying that God would receive them into his heavenly kingdom.^[1]
