The Inquisition in Britain: Forty Decades for Repentance
(Edition 2.0 20060728-20160522-20160823)
The last “burning at the stake” in Britain occurred in 1612 and was conducted by the Church of England. It was not the last execution as they continued on through the century but it was the last burning of a martyr for so-called “heresy” against the Trinitarian Church in Britain. Here we look at the period of the last Four Hundred Years and the Settlement of America also from 1620 to 2020 and their last chance for repentance.

These men, Macaulay says, ‘perpetrated a loyal to the Prophet than to any of the warring crime such as has never since polluted the island’, Christian dispositions.

The 1661 Act passed by the first Scottish Parliament under Charles II mandated death matters of doctrine other than the Trinity.
