The Tyndale Monument sits above North Nibley in Gloucestershire. Erected in 1866, in remembrance of William Tyndale. Tyndale was born locally and in 1525/26, was the first person to translate the bible into English. He was executed for doing this in 1536. The monument is 111'(34m) high and access to the top can be achieved via a narrow and partially lit spiral staircase. The ribbon of water just short of the horizon is the River Severn and the two bridges into Wales can be made out to the left of the photo.

Very dramatic sky and quite a view, too!
The Tyndale Bible heavily influenced and contributed to the creation of the King James Version. My son has a copy of the Tyndale version and his biography.
Anyway, this is a fantastic image!

Thank you for sharing such a great piece of theological history! As some may know, there were major changes taking place through the church at the time he lived. I didn't know about this event, but it fits in with the period. Real nice shot.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
