William Tyndale, who translated the New Testament into English, forming the basis for the later King James Version? He was burned at the stake for what he did.

Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley, who were publicly burned where the well-known memorial in Oxford still marks the spot? In the words of Latimer to Ridley on this occasion, they would ‘light a candle in England that would never be put out’.
