Why go

The memorial turns the story of the Oxford martyrs into a visible part of the cityscape. Its sculpted Gothic form stands in St Giles, while the site of the executions lies elsewhere on Broad Street. Take a few minutes to see the figures and inscription, then connect the monument with the nearby historic streets.

What to look for

  • The Gothic spire and its sculpted figures
  • The inscription commemorating Latimer, Ridley and Cranmer

Useful to know

  • Approach from St Giles or Magdalen Street; the monument is an outdoor pavement stop.
