​THOMAS CRANMER - THE ACCIDENTAL MARTYR​ by Neil Weatherall,  7.30pm, Monday 3 November - Upstairs @ North London Tavern

“Thomas Cranmer was the first Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury and the first ever to (openly) take a wife. When the Catholic Queen Mary comes to the throne, Thomas is imprisoned in the Tower of London, charged with heresy, which carries a sentence of death by fire. Desperate to be with his beloved wife and children again, he finds himself dependent on the goodwill of his old friend from university, Stephen Gardiner.”
