[1] According to John Foxe, Pygot was examined and condemned to death alongside Thomas Tomkins, William Hunter, Stephen Knight, and John Lawrence by the Bishop of London, Edmund Bonner on 9 February 1555.
[2] Upon the opening of Braintree Town Hall in 1928, the upper walls of the council chamber were painted by Maurice Greiffenhagen.
Murals representing the history of the town from the Roman era to the twentieth century include a representation of Pygot moments before his pyre was lit.
Due to its close proximity to the ancient market place, it is believed that the Town Hall stands on the site of execution.
In 2012, the Braintree & Bocking Civic Society funded a blue plaque to commemorate his martyrdom.
