More about this scene

Two carefully-posed groups of young girls are a feature of this photograph of the village of North Nibley, with the 111 foot- high memorial tower to the martyr William Tyndale on the knoll behind. Erected in 1866, it commemorates his life's work in translating the Bible into English; an endeavour for which he eventually died in 1536 at Vilvorde in Flanders, where he was strangled and burnt at the stake for heresy.
