on this day in history


nothing has changed since 1556 sadly.....

I'm not about to start making this a regular, there's plenty of other places you can go for that but while suffering a moment of, shall we say, 'distraction' at work today I found out that today, i.e March 21st.......

in 1556 Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was burned at the stake at Oxford for treason after retracting the last of seven recantations that same day. Clearly an awkward time to have religious beliefs.... so nothing has changed then despite the 'advance of civilisation' into 2006... I shall say no more.
