Biography

[edit | edit source]

Born in County Durham, he was a graduate of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.[3] He studied at Duoay College[4] and was ordained a priest in Rheims[5] in 1584.[4] He is probably best known for being one of the Eighty-five martyrs of England and Wales, for, arriving in England in 1586, he was captured two years later and executed by hanging, drawing and quartering[4] in York on 29 November 1588,[5]

He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 22 November 1987.[6]
