William Tyndale Monument

I finally found the location of the William Tyndale monument in Vilvoorde, Belgium.  It has been moved a couple times so it is not in it's original location making it hard to track down.  Originally it was in the center of the town square which is just 15 minutes from our house, but was initially moved due to road construction and was never returned.

William Tyndale dedicated his life to translating the Bible from Latin into English so the common people would be able read it.  Because of this he was captured and burned at the stake in Vilvoorde Belgium.

The monument is in a smaller corner corner of the park.  The remainder of the park has a cement soccer court, small skate park, a sand playground and some stationary workout equipment.  We didn't go until the evening and I was shocked at how many kids were running around (with very few parents).  Then again, it's really quite removed from the Vilvoorde town center and is in a more residential area.
