[538] Dictionary of National Biography, art. “John Foxe”. At Cheddar, not many years ago, a great black-letter volume of the Book of Martyrs was chained to the reading-desk. In the Life of Lord Macaulay it is stated, that as a child the sight of this book fascinated him, and that he sat in the family pew on a Sunday afternoon, longing to get at its bewitching pages. Lutterworth, until recently, possessed a chained copy of the book.
