Chesham : Thomas Harding Junior School "Born c. 1470, Harding lived in Amersham and then Chesham, where he was a farmer. He was a member of the Lollard community and believed in the right to read the scriptures in English. As a result of his unconventional beliefs he was found guilty of heresy and sentenced to be burnt to death at a place now known as Martyr’s Dell on White Hill. Harding was, however, spared a fiery death. As the fire was being lit, someone in the crowd threw a piece of firewood which hit him on the head and killed him instantly." - <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.chesham.gov.uk/Open_Spaces/Martyr_Stone.aspx" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.chesham.gov.uk/Open_Spaces/Martyr_Stone.aspx">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
