  • Summary

    This chapter investigates how the Reformation has been remembered through English monuments. It outlines the development of early modern tombs to individuals and families which both reflected and shaped Protestant theories of death and memories of the Reformation. It describes the emergence of memorials to the Reformation as a specific event in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focused on the commemoration of Protestant and Catholic martyrs. The chapter concludes that the commemoration of the Reformation in memorials has almost always been contentious and sectarian, notwithstanding some recent ecumenical examples, and proposes that future monuments acknowledge a shared history of suffering to enact reconciliation.
