Thomas Bilney

I do like the films from the Little Bit of History series and here is another one about Thomas Bilney.  Thomas was a Norfolk man born in 1495 and became outspoken about the current religious practices of the day which was a very brave and dangerous thing to do.  Why did he feel the need to take such measures?  What practices was he adverse to?  What do you think happened to him?  This story is an excellent insight into the passion these clergymen had, irrespective of the dangers.  To find out the answers to these questions and more information please select the following link:
