Surrounded by faggots, eleven martyrs stand back to back against three stakes. Two women stand untied among them. Some martyrs gesture in prayer, and others extend their arms outward from their bodies. Workers prepare the pyre, and a soldier attempts to keep an active crowd, some of whom observe from behind a ledge, at bay. A man on horseback supervises the execution, which transpires at Stratford the Bowe near London. This woodcut appears in the first through fourth editions (1563, 1570, 1576, and 1583).
