About two miles from the old m ar­
ket town of Chipping Sudbury, E ng­
land, sta n d s au old tim e bouse known
us L ittle Sodbury m anor bouse, which,
quite a p a rt from its celebrity as oue
of th e oldest exam ples of dom estic a r ­
chitecture in G loucestershire, bus been
Justly styled "th e birthplace of th e
English Bible.”
In one of the old rooms W illiam
Tyndale, who lived there fdr tw o
years, conceived the idea and/ corn-
menced th e work of tran slatin g the
New T estam ent into English.
In 1521 Sir John W alsh, ow ner of
the m anor house, had need of a chap­
lain an d tu to r for his children, and his
choice fell upon T yndale, who had
ju st com pleted bis university career.
T yndale w as in g reat favor w ith his
m aster, who encouraged him in th e
g reat work he had undertaken.
It Is quite possible th a t the tra n sla ­
tion would have been com pleted here,
hut Tyndale, having expressed his opin­
ions too freely to th e neighboring cler­
gy. found him self secretly charged
with heresy and sum m oned to ap p ear
before the chancellor of tb e diocese.
Although a t the tim e be ivas merely
adm onished, he did not consider it
safe to continue in the m anor house,
thereby involving his patron in d an ­
ger. so he left and proceeded w ith his
tran slatio n in London.—C hristian Sci­
ence Monitor.
