Wycliffe Memorial Methodist Church, Lutterworth
The obelisk to the left of the church, on the corner of Coventry Road and Bitteswell Road, commemorates John Wycliffe, a 14th century clergyman, who is credited with translating the bible into English for the first time. He is thought to have been born in Yorkshire but became rector of Lutterworth. He believed that the bible should be accessible to all, and not just the preserve of the clergy. Although he died peacefully in Lutterworth, his views were later declared heretical.
