Mancetter parish church - martyrs' memorial photo by Bill Samuel, 20 June 1998
There were many religious martyrs during the struggles in Britain during the 17th century. The Mancetter parish church contains memorials to Robert Glover and Joyce Lewes, who were killed by Catholics during the reign of Queen Mary. George Fox refers to his mother as being "from the stock of the martyrs." He may have been referring to her being in their spirit, rather than being a genetic descendant.
