(fn. 133) His denomination was not then stated, but a licence of 1696 As the Principal of the college named after this humble and courageous follower of Christ, it is a great privilege to reflect briefly on Ridley's life. His story is compelling, but my real aim here is to show that in his life we see something of a signpost pointing to Jesus and encouraging us to love and follow him more closely.

Shortly following the construction of Bishop Hall, the proposition of the need for a college infirmary was expressed by many prominent figures of the university, including the president. The current circumstances did not allow for proper care of students who were ill. There was also a need to handle potential epidemics that are common among small college towns. [7] This created much irony as Bishop Hall was utilized as an infirmary, especially during the influenza epidemic of 1918.

Ridley's family were not going to risk their son ending his life in a scrappy defense of the family's cattle, and so Nicholas was sent to school in Newcastle, where he excelled in Latin. In 1518, the year after Luther published his Ninety-Five thesis, the young Ridley came up to Cambridge and devoted himself to a life of learning and worship at Pembroke College. There was a small Wesleyan Methodist congregation at Waltham Abbey in 1810. (fn. 151) A few years later This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. Hall contributed to several distinct literary areas: satirical verse as a young man; polemical writing, particularly in defending episcopacy; and devotional writings, including contemplations carrying a political slant. He was influenced by Lipsian neostoicism. [20] The anonymous Mundus alter et idem is a satirical utopian fantasy, not denied by him in strong terms at any point.

By this point, copies of Luther's works were being secretly circulated in Cambridge and sympathisers with reform were meeting at the White Horse Inn. Latimer initially opposed reform but was eventually won round by Thomas Bilney. Ridley's attitude to reform at the time is not documented, but there is little doubt that he was on the side of authority. By temperament, Ridley was hostile to the whole attitude of the reformers. The views of Bilney, Barnes and Latimer, with their criticisms of the pomp of the Church and their preaching of a simple faith, based on Scripture alone, were democratic and anti-intellectual. This did not appeal to a gifted scholar like Ridley. By instinct, Ridley was not a Protestant. But he was, by the grace of God, a person of robust character. He was humble, committed to intellectual rigour and honesty and to a quest for truth. It was this that eventually led him to a different understanding of church teaching and compelled him to work for reform. statement by the same writer that 'the living, formerly in the hands of trustees, is now ( c. 1888) Nicholas Ridley came from a prominent family in Tynedale, Northumberland, and was born c.1500.

In 1603, Hall married Elizabeth (died 27 August 1652), daughter of George Winiffe of Brettenham, Suffolk. They had six sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Robert, D.D. (1605–1667), became Canon of Exeter in 1629, and Archdeacon of Cornwall in 1633. [26] Joseph, the second son (1607–1669), was registrar of Exeter Cathedral. George, the third son (1612–1668), became bishop of Chester. Samuel, the fourth son (1616–1674), was sub-dean of Exeter. [27] It is claimed that his son Richard Hall (1635–1688), emigrated to America in 1670, and patented a large tract of land on each side of the Susquehanna River, about a mile above the mouth of the Ocheraro, just within the limits of Maryland. Source: The Halls of New England: Genealogical and Biographical by Rev. David B. Hall, A. M. 1887 Hall retired to the hamlet of Heigham, now a suburb of Norwich, where he spent his last thirteen years preaching and writing until "he was first forbidden by man, and at last disabled by God". [1] In 1655 Gibson Lucas, the former presbyterian Commissioner and Justice of the Peace in Suffolk, regretted his previous rejection of episcopal polity. He was one of 63 priests Hall ordained in contravention of the 9 October 1646 Ordinance for the abolishing of Archbishops and Bishops. However Hall regarded Lucas as a "notable precedent for the rest of our learned, & religious Gentry to follow". [18]

It was then described as 'the burying-place out Eventually the charge of treason was replaced with the charge of heresy. The trial took the form of an academic disputation at Oxford. There was never any doubt that the result would be condemnation and death by fire. Ridley was given the opportunity to recount the day before his execution. He refused, and on the morning of the 16th of October 1555 he walked to the stake which, like the place of the execution of our Lord Jesus Christ, was set up on waste ground outside the city wall. On the walk to the stake, Ridley is said to have run to greet Latimer and embraced him. They knelt together in prayer, and encouraged one another before Ridley gave away all his outer garments and was chained to the stake. upon which the Bishop agreed he should drop one of the three chaplains, paying the other two, 7 marks, 3 s. 4 d. per annum, on giving

My behaviour drew attention to the cross that marked the spot where two brave followers of Jesus Christ had given their lives, just as he himself had given up his own life to open the way to life. As my behaviour drew attention to Ridley's memorial cross, so Ridley's behaviour - indeed his whole life - drew attention to the cross of Christ in which he trusted for his salvation. have been maintained even after that.
