The memorial stands on a small dedicated piece of ground on a hillside overlooking Amersham old town. It was erected in 1931 and commemorates martyrs who were burned at the stake in 1521, for reading and interpreting the bible in their own way, in English (one of the principles that led to the Reformation and Protestantism). This is the main (south) face with the main inscription. It is described here http://www.amersham.org.uk/tour/martyrs.htm
