At the tomb of Sancroft

A few days ago I visited the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Fressingfield in order to view the tomb of William Sancroft. He is buried outside the north side of the chancel, in death as in life refusing to enter a church whose prayers for a usurping tyrant he considered sinful. Thus the last Archbishop of the true Church of England lies in the humble country churchyard of the church in which he was baptised.
