Saturday 6 October marks 482 years since the death of William Tyndale, the OW who wrote some of the key texts of the English Reformation, including an influential early version of the English Bible.
It is believed he attended the school in the first few years of the 16th century, before travelling to Europe to produce the first printed English bible, publishing the New Testament in the German Protestant city of Worms in 1525.
His edition of the Bible was widely read by Protestant reformers back at home, and his tract The Obedience of a Christian Man inspired Henry VIII to assert his own religious autonomy and break from the Catholic Church.
Despite the eventual success of his Protestant teachings in England,Tyndale was betrayed to Catholic authorities in the Netherlands in 1536. He was sentenced to death for heresy, and executed by strangulation before his body was burnt at the stake.
Tyndale’s influence can be seen in the text of the King James Bible, the official Bible of the Church of England, which predominantly preserved the wording of Tyndale’s version. In 2002, Tyndale was placed at number 26 in the BBC’s poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.
