I refer to “Our Lady of the Assumption and the English Martyrs” on Hills Road, Cambridge, a limestone building that dates from 1890, but the windows were repaired after the Blitz. They feature, as the second half of the name suggests, thirty people, who include Bishop John Fisher, Sir Thomas More and a certain Countess of Salisbury.
However, as shown on BBC Look East recently, they also depict a familiar “large unit” with a dark beard, who ended the lives of that particular trio. Sadly, local programmes are not available after the day of broadcast but it did explain that the church is now a Grade 1 Listed Building. They now have a YouTube channel so you may be able to view it that way.
