"Mr Bushell's admirable and scholarly account of Great St Mary's, which makes full use of surviving original material. So far as any one church can claim to be the birthplace of the English Reformation, St Mary's is that church. Barnes, Latimer, Ridley, Shaxton and Sandys are among the Protestant pioneers and martyrs who preached from the pulpit. It would be difficult to obtain readily a better notion of the importance of the sermon than that gained by following Mr Bushell's narrative of the succession of preachers, their topics and their fates from the days of Henry VIII to those of Edward VIII." - H.M. Cam (Harvard Univ.).
