There has been considerable doubt as to the precise location and mode of his execution (28 May 1557). I have now uncovered a pre-Victorian source (Strype's Ecclesiastica Memoria v.3 p.2, pp.67-9, 513-9), which establishes that he was beheaded at Tower Hill.

Tower Hill being outside the Walls of the Tower of London complex, not just right outside the council chambers, correct?

Yes, it has a tube station twinned with Fenchurch Street which Southend people arrive at. The Tower's official history said that TS was beheaded but this source dates from 1822, which is obviously better.
Regular Bulletin readers will recall that the advert for certain yellow booklets was titled: "A single to Tower Hill, please".

John Strype (or van Stryp, son of an Hugenot refugee) lived from 1643 to 1737 and published Ecclesiastica Memoria in 1733, although the research must have done a little earlier. We are more than half way back to 1557.
