John Foxe (1516 [1] /1517 – 18 April 1587) [2] was an English clergyman, [3] theologian, and historian, notable for his martyrology Actes and Monuments (otherwise known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs), telling of Christian martyrs throughout Western history, but particularly the sufferings of English Protestants and proto-Protestants from the 14th century and in the reign of Mary I.

This theory seems to date only from the erection of a monument to the martyrs in the nearby churchyard of the Parish Church of St John the Evangelist in 1879.
