Legacy
There has been an attempt to connect the Oxford Martyrs with the nursery rhyme Three Blind Mice. It has been speculated that the rhyme refers to Queen Mary I of England blinding and executing the three Oxford Martyrs. However, Ridley, Hugh Latimer, and Thomas Cranmer were burned, but not blinded. If the rhyme was made by Catholics, then their being "blind" could refer to their Protestantism.
