Reply to comment by Adiwik in TIL that in 1554 Elizabeth Crofts hid in a wall on Aldersgate Street, where she pretended to be a heavenly voice. Reputedly 17,000 people came to listen to her give out anti-Catholic propaganda. by Kurma-the-Turtle

She wasn’t burned, likely because she confessed and recanted; except for than the big names like Archbishop Cranmer, the Marian regime largely only burned people who wouldn’t recant their heresies
