Tyndale and the life-giving Scriptures

Tucked away in Whitehall Gardens, near the Embankment, is the memorial to the great bible translator amd martyr who famously said: 'If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy who drives a plough to know more of the scriptures than you do.'

The accompanying plaque (belows) records that as  Tyndale died, he prayed 'Lord, open the king of England's eyes' and that within a year of his death, a copy of the Bible was placed in every parish church of the land by Royal command.
