Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Sussex Bonfire Societies are responsible for the series of bonfire festivals around Central/Eastern Sussex along with parts of Surrey and Kent from September November. The celebrations mark both Guy Fawkes Night and the burning of 17 Protestant martyrs in Lewes'' High Street from 1555 to 1557, during the reign of Mary Tudor. Nineteenth century antiquary Mark Antony Lower is credited with starting the "cult of the Sussex Martyrs" aided by an etching by James Henry Hurdis of Richard Woodman and nine others being burnt. This led to the creation of local Bonfire Societies who commemorated these events. For example, seven separate societies organise events in the town of Lewes. On Fifth of November, the town hosts six separate bonfires.
