St Oliver Plunkett

The Catholic archbishop of Armagh in Ireland, St Oliver was the last. He was hanged, drawn and quartered on conviction for high treason, at Tyburn on 1 July 1681.

Thomas Bilney

A Catholic priest, promoting Church reform (above), Bilney was the first of the martyrs to die in London in 1531. He was burned on a charge of heresy at Billingsgate, 19 August 1531, partly owing to his association with more radical thinkers, among them Hugh Latimer, who regarded him as a mentor.
