Wow...
That’s personal.

Yes. Personal. The last martyr to be burned at the stake in England. There’s a plaque on the outside of the church in Litchfield commemorating him.

He wouldn’t baptize his children until they were old enough to make the decision to accept Christ. Refusal to baptize infants at that time was heresy. (Religious tolerance wasn’t their strong suit.)

Many of my cousins have visited the site over the last several years. I’ll probably never get there.
