White Horse Tavern, Cambridge
- White Horse Tavern, Cambridge
The White Horse Tavern was in the sixteenth century the meeting place in Cambridge for English Protestant reformers who discussed Lutheran ideas. These discussions met as early as 1521. [J. D. Mackie, "The Earlier Tudors, 1485-1558" (OUP, 1991), p. 343.] According to the historian Geoffrey Elton the group of university dons who met there were nicknamed 'Little Germany' [Geoffrey Rudolph Elton, "England under the Tudors: Third Edition" (Routledge, 2005), p. 111.] in reference to their discussions of Luther.
Among those who attended these meetings were the future Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, the future Bishop of Worcester, Hugh Latimer and the reformers Robert Barnes and Thomas Bilney. The group was not confined to those associated with the reform movement of the next two decades, however, and also included future conservatives like Stephen Gardiner, the future Bishop of Winchester. Others who met at the tavern included Miles Coverdale, Matthew Parker, William Tyndale, Nicholas Shaxton, and John Bale.[cite book|title=A Concise History of the University of Cambridge|author=Elisabeth Leedham-Green|page=44|publisher=Cambridge University Press|date=1996] ]The tavern was located on the site of King's Lane, to the west of King's Parade.Notes
