Chipping Ongar, Essex. One inhabitant of particular interest to me, was Ralph Jackson, a servant of Chipping Ongar, Nothing more is known of him except that John Foxe records that he was one of the Stratford Martyrs - eleven men and two women, who were burned at the stake together for their Protestant beliefs, either at Stratford-le-Bow or Stratford, Essex, on 27 June 1556 during the Marian persecutions.
