Dist:0.2km<br/>The Martyrs' memorial was constructed in 1901 and was unveiled by the Earl of Portsmouth. Since its unveiling there has been an annual commemoration at the foot of the memorial for the Martyrs. The Inscription panel on the memorial begins: 'In loving memory of the undernamed seventeen protestant martyrs who, for their faithful testimony to God's truth were, during the reign of Queen Mary, burned to death" http://www.heritageexplorer.org.uk/web/he/imagebythemedetail.aspx?crit=&ctid=93&id=5889 see [[[2149075]]] for closeup of inscription

Dist:0.2km<br/>Erected in 1901 to commemorate the 17 protestant martyrs who were burnt at the stake in Lewes during the reign of Mary. The event is remembered each year by the town's bonfire celebrations. The town's staunch protestantism is believed to have been caused by the massive unpopularity of the Priory of St Pancras. The memorial is behind the Cuilfail estate and is designed to be seen from the spot in the centre of Lewes where the 17 were burnt at the stake.
