105 Catholic martyrs lost their lives at the Tyburn gallows, 1535 - 1681. The Tyburn Convent website explains but only lists a few. We have found other memorials to a few of them: John Houghton and the 17 other Carthusian Martyrs and Gregory Gunne - probably.
This section lists the memorials where the subject on this page is commemorated:
