The execution of Elizabeth Cooper took place on 13 July 1557 at Lollards Pit in Norwich, England. Cooper, a Protestant, was accused of heresy. She was sentenced to death under laws against heresy instituted by the third Parliament of Mary I, and as such was a victim of the Marian persecution. Cooper was the first of only two residents of Norwich to be burned at the stake as part of this persecution, the other being Cicely Ormes who had spoken out during Cooper's execution. Cooper's story is covered in Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
