Stratford Martyrs Memorial, Protestant memorial in Stratford, England
The memorial features a Gothic Revival hexagonal column topped with a twelve-sided spire reaching 65 feet in St John's churchyard.
In 1556, thirteen Protestant believers were executed at the stake during the Marian persecutions, leading to the construction of this memorial in 1879.
Terra cotta plaques on the memorial display relief sculptures depicting the martyrdom scenes as described in John Foxe's historical accounts.
The Grade II listed monument stands in Stratford Broadway, near the intersection of Maryland Street and Great Eastern Road.
The memorial lists additional names beyond the thirteen martyrs, including Patrick Packingham and Reverend Thomas Rose, who faced torture for their Protestant beliefs.
