Coventry Martyrs
The Coventry Martyrs were a disparate group of Protestant Christians executed for their beliefs in Coventry between 1512 – 1522 (seven men and two women) and in 1555 (three men). Eleven of them are commemorated by a six-metre high monument, erected in 1910 in a public garden in the city, between Little Park Street and Mile Lane; and by a mosaic constructed in 1953 inside the entrance to Broadgate House in the city centre. Some of the streets in the city’s Cheylesmore suburb are named after them.〔Munden, Alan (1997) ''The Coventry Martyrs'', Coventry Archives publication, p. 1〕 See also (Cheylesmore road names ).
==Lollardy in 15th-century Coventry==
Former Coventry vicar and historian Alan Munden has made the case for the number of martyrs to be increased to thirteen, if a woman burned in 1432 for Lollardy is included among their number.〔Munden, Alan (1997) ''The Coventry Martyrs'', Coventry Archives publication, p. 5〕 Lollards were known to be active in the city as early as 1414, and sources of the time record Lollardy-related public order incidents in 1424 and 1431. In 1432, the wife of a mayor was executed at Coventry for Lollardy, with further ecclesiastical court trials recorded for 1445 and 1486.〔''Victoria County History (Warwickshire, volume 2)'' (1908), London, p. 21〕
