Hugh Laverock

Burnt at the stake in Bow (or possibly Stratford) for his Protestant beliefs. Lame. When in the flames he said to Apprice who was sharing the stake: "Hold on, John, it won't be for long: remember the text: 'These are they which came, out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
