The Martyrs' Memorial is an imposing stone monument at the intersection of St Giles', Magdalen Street and Beaumont Street in Oxford, England just outside Balliol College. It commemorates the 16th-century "Oxford Martyrs". Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the monument was completed in 1843. The Victorian Gothic memorial, whose design dates from 1838, has been likened to the spire of some sunken cathedral. The three statues of Thomas Cranmer, Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley are by Henry Weekes.[1] The monument is listed at grade II*.[2] The inscription on the base of the Martyrs' Memorial reads as follows: "To the Glory of God, and in grateful commemoration of His servants, Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, Hugh Latimer, Prelates of the Church of England, who near this spot yielded their bodies to be burned, bearing witness to the sacred truths which they had affirmed and maintained against the errors of the Church of Rome, and rejoicing that to them it was given not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for His sake; this monument was erected by public subscription in the year of our Lord God, MDCCCXLI
