All Saints Pavement

On the wall inside this ancient church you will find the helmet, sword and gauntlets of Thomas Percy, 7th Earl of Northumbria. On the pavement outside he was humiliated and beheaded without trial on a specially constructed scaffold without trial for leading the Catholic uprising of 1569. Just before his death he made a speech, a public profession of faith, which apparently inspired Margaret Clitherow to convert to Catholicism.
