The note nailed to the Town Hall door warned judges of innocent blood
This episode explores the first recorded burning for heresy in Ipswich, focusing on the case of Kerby and the broader religious tensions in England under Henry VIII. It delves into the shifting religious landscape and the personal choices made in the face of extreme pressure.
Person: Kerby
Date: 1546
Location: Cornhill, Ipswich
Event: Burning for heresy
Law: Act of Six Articles
- Kerby was condemned to burn for denying that the bread and wine of the Mass became the literal body and blood of Christ.
- The Act of Six Articles, passed in 1539, reasserted core Catholic doctrines and made denial of transubstantiation a capital offense.
- A note, written in Latin and English, was nailed to the Town Hall door, warning judges that innocent blood would be required at their hands.
- William Foster, Justice of Copdock, brought the accusation against Kerby and another man named Roger for denying transubstantiation.
- Robert Wingfield visited Kerby in gaol, urging him to seek mercy by emphasizing the pain of the fire and the sweetness of life.
