Lollards Pit

Lollards Pit, located just outside the old city boundary of the English city of Norwich, was the place where Lollards, and later a number of Marian martyrs, were burned at the stake for heresy. The condemned would be led across Bishop Bridge—and thus outside of the old city walls—to be executed. Ian Lolworth was said to be the first to be executed. Thomas Bilney was martyred at Lollards Pit on 19 August 1531.
