Talk:Nicholas Ridley (martyr)
It may have been a cobbled cross in the road in 1890, but I'm fairly sure it's a metal one now. Can anyone confirm this? Deb 19:40 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
The text that I conferred with says nothing about the type of cross. That reference was added later. My portion is a paraphrase (modernized) of the text found. I could provide the text in it entirety and let others evaluate it for merit.
- See this picture. The host web page describes it as a cobble cross. Certainly it's cobbles between the arms. If the arms themselves are metal it's not clear in the photo and I can't remember. (I used to live a few miles from Oxford until 1993 and the photos on the web page look genuine to me).
- Restored mention of "cobbled patch of road" but left in "metal". Andy G 20:55 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- OK. That looks like a new cross -- or at any rate, newer than the last time I looked at it. I withdraw my objection. Deb 23:04 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Isn't "martyr" an inherently POV term, and therefore should be avoided in an article title (a disambiguation, nonetheless)? ugen64 03:00, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
- How about "bishop" ? -- PFHLai 18:38, 2004 Oct 5 (UTC)
If Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley (martyr) and Hugh Latimer were burnt to death together, how come the date of death are different ? I'm very confused .... -- PFHLai 18:38, 2004 Oct 5 (UTC)
Thomas cramer wasn't exucuted at the same time just the same place and Ridley and Latimer.
