On Tuesday 28th April, members of the Tyndale Society went to London and visited some places connected to William Tyndale's time in London.
They met at the parish church of St Dunstan in the West, where Tyndale used to preach and where there is a carved image of him by the doorway.
They then walked via the site of Paul's Cross where copies of the New Testament in English were burnt by Bishop Tunstall after they came into England in 1526.
They finished at the Dutch church, the first non-conformist church in England, founded in 1550, where they looked at items in the library.
