John Fisher was bishop of Rochester and connected with university life in Cambridge. Thomas More pursued his career as a humanist and lawyer. Both opposed Henry VIII’s break with Rome and were executed in London. Their paths were different, but Catholic memory brings them together for the position they maintained in that conflict.
