By John Spurgin

Book Overview

The Norfolk and Norwich Martyrs is a historical book by John Spurgin that was published in 1855. The book tells the story of a group of individuals who were persecuted and put to death during the reigns of Henry VIII and Queen Mary in Norfolk and Norwich, England. These individuals were known as martyrs because they refused to renounce their religious beliefs and were therefore punished by the state. The book provides a detailed account of the lives of these martyrs, including their backgrounds, the circumstances of their arrests, and the methods of their execution. It also explores the political and religious context of the time, including the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation.
