Who

Sir Thomas Erpingham (c.1355-1428)

Knighted in 1372, Erpingham is renowned for his military successes and he was able to exert significant regional dominance. Captain of the English Archers at the battle of Agincourt, Erpingham donated large amounts of money to the Dominican Friary after the fire in 1413. His coat of arms can be seen between the clerestory windows of St Andrew's Hall.

Katherine Manne (16th century)

There are the remains of an anchorage (or recluse's cell) in the grounds of Blackfriars' Hall. During the 16th century Katherine Manne locked herself away, to devote her life to God and give others spiritual counselling. She is believed to have been the female recipient of a copy of William Tyndale's English translation of the New Testament - given to her by Thomas Bilney. Bilney was arrested and burnt at the stake for heresy in 1531.
