In the North aisle the first stained glass window\u00a0(by Morris & Co of Merton Abbey) depicts Hugh Latimer<\/a> (c.\u20091487\u00a0\u2013 16 October 1555) was a\u00a0Fellow\u00a0of\u00a0Clare College, Cambridge, and\u00a0Bishop of Worcester\u00a0before the\u00a0Reformation, and later\u00a0Church of England\u00a0chaplain to\u00a0King Edward VI. In 1555 under the\u00a0Catholic\u00a0Queen Mary\u00a0he was\u00a0burned at the stake, becoming one of the three\u00a0Oxford Martyrs\u00a0of\u00a0Anglicanism. He fell foul of the Church authorities when he began to preach publicly on the need for the translation of the Bible into English. This was a dangerous move as the first translation of the New Testament by\u00a0William Tyndale\u00a0had recently been banned. In early 1528, Latimer was called before Cardinal\u00a0Thomas Wolsey\u00a0and he was given an admonition and a warning. when Edward VI’s sister\u00a0Mary I\u00a0came to the throne, he was tried for his beliefs and teachings in\u00a0Oxford\u00a0and\u00a0imprisoned. In October 1555 he was\u00a0burned at the stake\u00a0outside\u00a0Balliol College, Oxford\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and Thomas Cranmer<\/a> (2 July 1489 \u2013 21 March 1556) was a leader of the English Reformation and Archbishop of Canterbury during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and, for a short time, Mary I. He helped build the case for the annulment of Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which was one of the causes of the separation of the English Church from union with the Holy See.  During Cranmer’s tenure as Archbishop of Canterbury, he was responsible for establishing the first doctrinal and liturgical structures of the reformed Church of England. He wrote and compiled the first two editions of the Book of Common Prayer<\/a>, a complete liturgy for the English Church. After the accession of the Catholic Mary I, Cranmer was put on trial for treason and heresy. Imprisoned for over two years and under pressure from Church authorities, he made several recantations and apparently reconciled himself with the Catholic Church. While this would have normally absolved him, Mary wanted him executed, and, on the day of his execution, he withdrew his recantations, to die a heretic to Catholics and a martyr for the principles of the English Reformation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
