Reading edition

One often occurs, struck generally in lead. It represents, on the obverse, Sir Edmondbury Godfrey walking, though strangled; on the reverse, St Dennis, with some such legend as this:

Godfrey walked up the hill after he was dead; Dennis went o'er the sea wanting his head.

Others are recorded by Evelyn.
