Inscription description
front: DR TAYLOR; rear: SUFFERED / THE 9TH OF FEBRUARY / 1553; base at front: This Monument was erected / 1819 / by private subscription / Richard Yeoman Curate to Dr Taylor / after a series of the most cruel persecution which / he endured with exemplary patience and fortitude / suffered martyrdom at Norwich 10th July 1558 / Restored by the Parishioners May / 1882; base at rear: THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH / THE WORLD EVEN OUR OWN FAITH? I John ch. 5 v / 4 Mark this rude stone where Taylor dauntless stood / Where Zeal infuriate drank the Martyr’s blood / Hadleigh! That day how many a tearful eye / Saw they lov’d Pastor dragg’d a Victim by; / to the Blind Pair” his farewell alms were cast: / As thou has aided us. Be God thine Aid.” / Nor taunts nor bribe of mitred rank. Nor stake / Nor blows not flames his heart of firmness shake: Serene his folded hands his upward eyes. Like holy Stephen’s seek the opening skies: There fix’d in rapture his prophetic sight / Views Truth dawn clear on England’s Bigot night: Triumphant Saint; He bow’d and kiss’d the road / And soar’d on Seraph wing to meet his God
