On Saturday 20th June, friends and members of the Tyndale Society met in London and went on a biblical tour of the British Museum. Our tour was led by a good friend of the Tyndale Society, Dr Hywel Clifford, Lecturer in Old Testament Studies at Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford.
He led us through the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Greek sections of the Museum, seeing items with inscriptions in hieroglyphs and cuneiform, showing us objects and monuments from the biblical era.
Afterwards we walked to the British Library and saw the "Let There Be Light" and "Sacred Texts" exhibition of English Bibles from Wycliffe to the King James Version, including original copies of Tyndale's 1525 Cologne Fragment, his 1526 New Testament and his translation of Erasmus's Enchridion.
It was a hot day but we all learnt a lot and had a great day together.
Tyndale Society member Mike Smith is planning an epic bike ride across continental Europe. His Tour de Tyndale will take him from Vilvoorde near Brussels (where Tyndale was martyred) on to Cologne and Worms (where Tyndale finished and published his New Testament). From there he will make his way to Constance (where the Czech reformer, Jan Hus, was martyred).
His mammoth bike ride will also raise money for the BIble Society and you can listen to an interview with Mike on the BIble Society Facebook page via the link below.
On the afternoon of Sunday 7th June, 2026, a talk was held at St Paul's Cathedral in London called "Wolsey and Tyndale: spies and espionage".
Historian Dr Charlotte Gautier unravelled the story of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey and his network of spies which culminated in Tyndale's betrayal and capture in 1536. You can watch and listen to the entire talk which is now available directly from YouTube or by following the link below to the website for St Paul's cathedral.
On Saturday 30th May, members of the Tyndale Society joined others for a Tudor walking tour of Amersham in Buckinghamshire, which started and ended at Amersham Museum.
The tour was led by volunteers who dressed in Tudor costume and explained the history and practicalities of Tudor life, food, trade, buildings, clothing, health, work and religion.
The tour went into the parish church to explain about Tudor religion and faith and the local Lollards. We then walked up the hill to visit the Lollard Memorial at the site where Lollards were martyred in the early 1500s.
The tour lasted about three hours. It was a very hot day but it was brought alive by knowledgeable and humourous guides dressed in period costume.
