EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Bishop Tunstall burning copies of William Tynedale's New Testament at Cheapside, London. Cuthbert Tunstall, an influential figure in the English Church during the 15th and 16th centuries, was not only a church leader but also a diplomat, administrator, bishop, and royal adviser. The image showcases the power struggle within the religious realm during this era. As Bishop Tunstall sets fire to these bibles that challenged traditional beliefs and practices, it symbolizes his attempt to suppress Tynedale's revolutionary ideas. This act of burning represents an intense clash between old and new faiths. Tunstall's actions were part of a larger movement against religious reformists like Tynedale who sought to translate the Bible into English so that common people could access its teachings directly. The significance of this event is further emphasized by its inclusion in John Foxe's "Book of Martyrs" published around 1865. Ken Welsh's expertly captured print allows us to witness this historical moment with vivid detail. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped societies throughout time and highlights the courage individuals like Tynedale displayed in challenging established norms for their beliefs.
