Martyrs' Memorial

Completed in 1843 to a Victorian Gothic design by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the Martyrs' Memorial honours three 16th-century Protestant martyrs who were executed in Oxford. Constructed from Magnesian limestone and inspired by the medieval Eleanor crosses, the structure features Caen stone statues of Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley sculpted by Henry Weekes. Prominently situated on Magdalen Street near university college buildings and the Randolph Hotel, the monument also functions as an easily recognised local meeting spot.
