They brought Campion to the scaffold at Tyburn, hanged him, and chopped his body in quarters before a huge crowd of observers. On of the bystanders, a Protestant named Henry Walpole, was close to the place where the hangman was throwing the pieces of Campion’s body into a vat of boiling water. A drop of the water mixed with blood splashed out upon his clothes, and Walpole felt at once, he said, that he had to convert to the Catholic Church.--79.222.216.234 (talk) 05:57, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions the execution of Edward Campion (one of the Oaten Hill Martyrs to be executed on the 1 October 1588). This date does not really fit in with the others as the next entence states "7 July 1582", six years earlier... I think there has been a mix up between Edward Campion and Edmund Campion (executed on the 1 December 1581). --87.251.199.23 (talk) 15:00, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
