SIR THOMAS MORE
INTERESTING RELICS EXHIBITED Treasured relics of Sir Thomas More, the English statesman and author, which have never before been shown to the public, are included in a loan exhibition opened at the Convent of Adoration, 28 Beaufort Stteet, Chelsea, S.W. These relics form part of the collection of the Right Hon. John Burns, who said to a “Daily Mail” reporter: “I have made a lifetime hobby of
collecting relics of the 16th century martyr. My collection now consists of over a thousand articles, including early editions of his works, letters and manuscripts. My researches lead me to believe that after his execution More’s body was buried in Chelsea, his former home.
