At his burning John Hooper even helped the man that had the job of putting the firewood together in bunches to be burnt- the branches that were to be burnt for John Hooper himself.

It was winter and so the fire didn't start well because the wood was damp and wet. At first the wind blew the flames away and signed his hair and face. Then as the Bishop prayed the fire got going again and burnt his legs before going out again. He cried out 'Let me have more fire'. When the fire did start again it flared up and reached the bags of gunpowder which had been tied to his knees but the wind blew the explosions away from him….he had to then endure a slow and agonising death that lasted a whole three quarters of an hour as the fire crept up his body. All the time this was happening, he was praying.
