Tyndale Monument
Tyndale Monument at dusk
Tyndale monument, above at sunset, and below nearer mid-day, is not far from Bristol. You can, for a small donation, climb the tower and see sweeping views of the Severn valley. William Tyndale is one of the first translators of the Bible into English. At the time (1525 or so), this was a capital offense, and when the Catholic church caught up with him, he was strangled then burnt. His work, directly from Hebrew and Greek sources laid the foundation of the King James version. Whether or not you are a Christian, someone who stands up for their beliefs, in the face of nearly certain persecution is worthy of great respect.
