queen ought not to
enjoy the Crown,
or to declare her to
be a heretic.

35. The Jesuits, etc. Act 1584, was the statute under which most of the English
martyrs suffered. It was high treason for any Jesuit or any seminary priest

of Sir Patrick Barnewell at Turvey. While in
Ireland he wrote a history of Ireland (first

Good Life, Triumphs over Death, Mary
Magdalen’s Tears and a Humble
Supplication to Queen Elizabeth,
were widely circulated

repeatedly tortured and badly treated so that he might give evidence about
other priests. - His imprisonment lasted for 3 years, during which period he was
tortured on ten occasions. In 1595 he was charged with treason, and removed

returned to England and
ministered in in his home county of

15) and bore him two children.
She converted to Roman
Catholicism at the age of 18, in 1574.
-Her son, Henry, went to Reims
to train as a Catholic priest. She
regularly held Masses in her
home in the Shambles in York.
There was a secret tunnel
between her house and the
house next door, so that a priest
could escape if there was a raid.
-In 1586 she was arrested and
called before the York assizes
for the crime of harbouring
Roman Catholic priests.

47. Margaret Clitherow suffered a peculiar form of execution on March 25, 1586.
Refusing to enter any plea when accused of hiding priests — to protect her
family from having to testify against her — she was pressed to death.

48. Margaret Ward helped Father William Watson escape from prison,
smuggling in a rope that the priest accidentally left behind. The authorities
discovered what she had done and tortured Margaret to make her reveal

the priest William Watson, was confined at Bridewell
Prison, she obtained permission to visit him. She was
thoroughly searched before and after early visits, but
gradually the authorities became less cautious, and she
managed to smuggle a rope into the prison.
Fr Watson escaped, but hurt himself in so doing, and
left the rope hanging from the window. The boatman
whom Ward had engaged to take him down the river
then refused to carry out the bargain. Ward, in her
distress, confided in another boatman, John Roche,
who undertook to assist her. He provided a boat, and
exchanged clothes with the priest. Fr. Watson got away,
but Roche was captured in his place, and Ward, having
been Fr Watson’s only visitor, was also arrested.
Margaret Ward was kept in irons for eight days, was
hung up by the hands, and scourged, but absolutely
refused to disclose the priest’s whereabouts. At her
trial, she admitted to having helped Fr. Watson to
escape, and rejoiced in “having delivered an innocent
lamb from the hands of those bloody wolves.” She was
offered a pardon if she abjured her faith, but refused.

50. St Anne Line was executed Feb. 27, 1601. Her “crimes”:

1566 had been rector of Ingatestone, Essex, where Petre lived. A talented classical scholar, Sherwin
graduated with MA in July 1574. The following year he converted to Roman Catholicism and fled

accepting food as payment before
starting off for a new project.
Only slightly taller than a dwarf and
suffering from a hernia, his work often
involved breaking through stone, and,
to minimize the chances of betrayal, he
always worked alone. For some years,

on his behalf, the jailers believing
that he was merely an insignificant
friend of some priests.

He was born at Southwark
1575 into a prominent family.
His uncle, Henry Garnet,

the Jesuits in England.
His father Richard was
at Balliol College, Oxford.
-Thomas attended school at
Horsham and at 17 was among
the first students of Saint
Omer’s Jesuit College in 1592.
In 1595 he was on his way
to study theology at
Saint Albans, Valladolid.

79. Ordained at 24 in 1599
he returned to England.
Implicated in the
gunpowder plot, he was
imprisoned first in the
Gatehouse, then in the
Tower, where he was
tortured in order to make
him give evidence against
Henry Garnet, his famous
uncle, Superior of the
English Jesuits, who had
recently admitted him into
the Society of Jesus. He
was deported to Flanders
with 46 other priests.

80. Thomas now went to Saint Omer
and then to Brussels to see the
Superior of the Jesuits, Father
Baldwin, who sent him to the
English Jesuit novitiate, Saint
John’s, Louvain, where he was
the first novice to be received.
In September 1607 he was sent
back to England, but was arrested
six weeks later by an apostate
priest called Rouse.
This was the time of King James’
controversy with Cardinal
Bellarmine about the
Oath of Allegiance.
Garnet was offered his life if he
would take the oath, but he
refused, and was executed at 32
at Tyburn, protesting that he was
“the happiest man alive this day”.

81. John Almond d. 1612 - A native of Allerton, England,
he was educated in Ireland and then at Reims and in
Rome. After his ordination in 1598, he returned to

82. St Edmund Arrowsmith
1585–1628
The son of Robert Arrowsmith,
a farmer, he was born at
Haydock in 1585. - The family
was constantly harassed for its
adherence to Catholicism, and
in 1605 Edmund left England and
went to Douai to study for the
priesthood. He was forced to quit
due to ill health. He was ordained
in 1611 and sent on the English
mission the following year.
He ministered to the Catholics
of Lancashire without incident
until about 1622, when he was
arrested and questioned by the
Protestant bishop of Chester.

83. Edmund was released
when King James I
ordered all arrested
priests be freed, joined
the Jesuits in 1624 and in
1628 was arrested when
betrayed by a young man,
the son of the landlord
of the Blue Anchor Inn in
south Lancashire, whom
he had censured for an
incestuous marriage.
He was convicted of
being a Catholic priest,
sentenced to death,
and hanged, drawn and
quartered at Lancaster
on August 28th 1628

84. Sent to England on mission in
South Lancashire, he lived with
protecting families near
Manchester. But he was pursued
for proselytising, imprisoned five
times and released, but was
finally arrested on Easter Sunday
1641. Paraded at the head of his
parishoners, dressed in his
surplice, and was followed by
some 400 men armed with clubs
and swords, he could have
escaped in the confusion, but he
voluntarily gave himself up.
Imprisoned in Lancaster Castle
for four months, he was
sentenced after confessing to
being a Catholic priest. On Friday
September 10 he was hanged,
drawn and quartered at
Lancaster on 10th September
1641. Many of his relics are
preserved, a hand being at
Stanbrook Abbey near Worcester
and his skull in Wardley Hall
St Ambrose Barlow 1585-1641 - Born at Handforth Hall, Cheshire.
Until 1607 he converted from the Anglican to the catholic church.
He was educated at the Benedictine monastery of St. Gregory in
Douai, France, and entered the English College in Valladolid, Spain,
in 1610. He later returned to Douai where his elder brother
(William) Rudesind Barlow was a professed monk. Barlow also
professed in 1614 and was ordained a priest in 1617.

85. St Alban Roe 1582-1642
Born 1583 in Bury, St Edmunds, Suffolk.
After meeting an imprisoned Catholic
recusant, he converted to Catholicism.
He spent some time at the English
College at Douai in northern France,
but was expelled for insubordination.
He spent the rest of his novitiate at the
Abbey of St. Lawrence, Dieulouard, a
newly opened Benedictine house near
Nancy – the home of Benedictine monks
fleeing persecution in England. He was
ordained priest there in 1612. Sent back
to England, he was banished in 1615 but
returned in 1618 and was imprisoned
until 1623, when his release and re-exile
was organised by the Spanish
Ambassador. He returned two years
later for the last time and was
imprisoned for seventeen years.
He was hanged, drawn and quartered
at Tyburn on the 21st of January 1642.

86. St Henry Morse 1595-1644 - Born in Norfolk. He began studies at Cambridge and took up the
study of law at Barnard’s Inn, London; He went to Douai where he was received into the
Catholic church in 1614. After various journeys reached Rome where he was ordained in 1623.

87. St Henry Morse
1595-1644
After various journeys
reached Rome where he
was ordained in 1623.
Before leaving Rome he
met the Superior General
of the Jesuits with a view
to joining the order and
left for England in 1624.

88. He was admitted to the Society of Jesus at Heaton shortly arriving in
England, but almost immediately was arrested and imprisoned for
three years in York Castle, where he made his novitiate under his
fellow prisoner, Father John Robinson SJ, and took simple vows.

89. He was released on bail and went voluntarily into exile, 1641, and again became chaplain to
English regiment in the service of Spain in Flanders.

90. In 1643 he returned to England but was arrested after about a year and a half and imprisoned at
Durham and Newcastle, and sent by sea to London. On 30th January he was again brought to the
bar and condemned on his previous conviction. On the day of his execution his cart was drawn by
four horses and the French ambassador attended with all his suite, as did the Count of Egmont and
the Portuguese Ambassador. The martyr was allowed to hang until he was dead. In 1647 many
persons possessed by evil spirits were relieved through the application of his relics.

91. St John Wall 1679
S John Southworth 1654

92. St John Southworth 1592-1654 – He studied at the English College in Douai, northern
France, and was ordained priest before he returned to England. Imprisoned and sentenced to
death for professing the Catholic faith, he was later deported to France. Once more he
returned to England and lived in Clerkenwell, London, during a plague epidemic. He assisted
and converted the sick in Westminster and was arrested again. He was brought to the Old
Bailey, he was condemned for exercising the priesthood and executed at Tyburn Gallows
(hanged, drawn and quartered). His remains are now kept at Westminster Cathedral London.

93. During the reign of Charles I, the catholics suffered in fewer numbers and
during the so-called Interregnum, when Parliament and then afterwards,
Oliver Cromwell ruled England when the English Civil War ended in 1649.

94. Cromwell took his “Model Army” to Ireland to punish Catholic rebels,
massacring priests in the siege of Drogheda and executing those who
remained in Ireland. Catholics in England were relatively at peace during
the Interregnum before the restoration of the Stuart dynasty in 1660

95. FORTH WAVE
AFTER THE
“POPISH PLOT”
1678

96. The so-called “Popish Plot”, a fiction spread by the
notorious perjurer Titus Oates, accused Catholics
of a conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II.

97. In 1679, laymen Edward
Coleman and Thomas
Pickering, fell victim to
Oates’ perjury and fraud.

98. St John Wall d. 1679 - Franciscan
Born in Preston, Lancashire, 1620, he was sent
at a young age to Douai College. He entered
the Roman College in 1641 and was ordained
in 1645. Sent on mission in 1648, he received
the habit of St. Francis at St. Bonaventure’s
Friary, Douai in 1651 and a year later was
professed, taking the name of Joachim of St.
Anne. He filled the offices of vicar and novice
master at Douai until 1656, when he returned
to the Mission, and for twenty years
ministered in Worcestershire. Captured
in December 1678 at Rushock Court
near Bromsgrove.
Sent on to London, he was four times
examined by Oates, Bedloe, and others.
Brought back to Worcester, he was executed
at Redhill on 22 August 1679. The day
previous, William Levison was enabled to
confess and communicate him, and at the
moment of execution the same priest gave
him the last absolution. His quartered body
was given to his friends, and was buried
in St. Oswald’s churchyard.

99. St David Lewis 1616-79 -born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in 1616. His father
Morgan Lewis had become a Protestant. His mother, Margaret Prichard, was Catholic,
however, and all but one of their nine children were raised Catholics except David himself.
After attending the Royal Grammar School at Abergavenny, David, then aged 16,
was sent to London to study law at the Middle Temple. Three years later he lost interest
in the legal profession and went to France as tutor of the son of one Count Savage.

100. Probably he was reconciled
to the Catholic Church while
living in Paris. He then went
back to Wales for a couple
of years, but in 1638 he set
out for Rome to study for
the priesthood at the
Venerable English College.
Ordained a secular priest in
1642, he entered the Jesuits
two years later. The Jesuit
superiors sent him as a
missionary to Wales in 1646
but recalled him soon
afterward to be spiritual
director of the English
College. - In 1648 he was
sent back to Wales, and
there he was to remain for
the next thirty years.

101. When discovered he was
imprisoned in Monmouth
for two months.
Tried in March 1679 he
was condemned but was
then sent to London to
be examined by the Privy
Council on the Titus Oates
Plot. Offered his freedom
if he became an
Anglican, he declined.
He was brought back to
Usk in Monmouthshire
where he was hanged
on August 27, 1679.

102. St Philip Evans 1645-79 - Born in Monmouth 1645 and educated at St Omer
where he joined the Society of Jesus in 1665. He was ordained at Liege in
1675 and sent to South Wales where he ministered until in 1678 he was
caught up in the collective that surrounded the so-called Titus Oates Plot.

103. He was arrested at Sker in
Glamorganshire, 4 December
1678. He refused the oath
and was confined alone in
an underground dungeon
in Cardiff Castle.
Two or three weeks
afterwards he was joined by
John Lloyd, a secular priest,
who had been taken at
Penlline in Glamorgan

104. After five months the two
prisoners were brought up
for trial at the shire-hall in
Cardiff, charged not with
complicity in the plot but
as priests who had come
unlawfully into the realm.
The execution took place
on Gallows Field, Cardiff).
Philip died first, after having
addressed the people in
Welsh and English, and
saying ‘Adieu, Mr Lloyd,
though for a little time, for
we shall shortly meet again.

105. St. John Plesington d. 1679-
Born at Dimples Hall near
Garstang, Lancashire, the son
of a Royalist Catholic, John was
educated at Saint Omer’s in
France and the English college
at Valladolid, Spain. He was
ordained in Segovia in 1662.
Returning to England the
following year, he worked in the
area of Cheshire. In 1670, Father
John became the tutor of the
children of a Mr. Massey at
Puddington Hall near Chester.
He was arrested and charged
with participating in the “Popish
Plot” to murder King Charles II.
Father John was found guilty
and hanged at Boughton near
Chester on July 19, 1679.

106. St John Kemble 1599-1679 - Born in 1599, in Herefordshire into a prominent
local Catholic family. He had four brothers priests. Kemble was ordained a priest
at Douai College, on 23 February 1625. He returned to England on
4 June 1625 as a missioner in Monmouthshire and Herefordshire. -

107. He was arrested by a Captain John Scudamore of Kentchurch. It is a comment on the tangled
loyalties of the age that Scudamore’s own wife and children were parishioners of Father
Kemble. - Father Kemble, now 80, was taken on the arduous journey to London to be
interviewed about the plot. - One of the martyr’s hands is preserved at St. Francis Xavier,
Hereford. His body rests in the (Church of England) churchyard of St Mary’s, Welsh Newton,
and local Roman Catholics make an annual pilgrimage to his grave. Miracles were soon
attributed to the saintly priest. Scudamore’s daughter was cured of throat cancer, while
Scudamore’s wife recovered her hearing whilst praying at the Kemble’s grave.

108. St John Lloyd d. 1679 –
He was a Breconshire man
who had taken the
missionary oath at
Valladolid in 1649 and was
sent to minister in his own
country and was arrested
during the Oates’ scare at
Penlline in Glamorgan.
Along with Philip Evans
he was brought to trial in
Cardiff on Monday, 5 May
1679. - They were charged
with being priests and
coming into the principality
of Wales contrary to the
provisions of the law.
– The executions took
place in Gallows Field,
Cardiff on 22nd July 1679.

109. So also two Jesuits Thomas Whitbread and
Anthony Turner were executed at Tyburn 1680

110. St Oliver Plunkett, the Irish bishop of Armagh, was brought to London
for a manifestly unfair trial and condemned to death. On July 11,
1681, he became the last Catholic priest to be executed at Tyburn

111. St Richard Gwyn 1537–84 - He was born in Montgomeryshire, Wales. At the age of 20 he
matriculated at Oxford University. He then went to Cambridge University, where he lived
on the charity of St John’s College and its master, the Roman Catholic Dr. George Bulloch.
He returned to Wales and became a teacher, continuing his studies on his own. He married
Catherine; they had six children, three of whom survived him. His adherence to the old faith
was noted by the Bishop of Chester, who brought pressure on him to conform to the Anglican
faith. - Gwyn often had to change his home and his school to avoid fines and imprisonment.

112. in 1579 he was arrested by the
Vicar of Wrexham, a former
Catholic who had conformed
to the new faith. He escaped and
remained a fugitive for a year and
a half, was recaptured, and spent
the next four years in one prison
after another until his execution.
In May 1581 Gwyn was taken to
church in Wrexham. He was placed
in the stocks and was fined £280
for refusing to attend Anglican
church services, and another
£140 for “brawling” when
they took him there.
Gwyn was tortured often in prison,
largely with the use of manacles.
However, his adherence to the
Catholic faith never wavered.

113. Richard Gwyn, John Hughes and Robert Morris were indicted for high treason
in 1583 and were brought to trial. - Gwyn was condemned to death by hanging,
drawing and quartering. This sentence was carried out in the Beast Market
in Wrexham on 15 October 1584. -Relics of Richard Gwyn are to be found
in the Cathedral Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, Wrexham.

114. In some ways, the 18th-century Enlightenment era that followed was the lowest point for
Catholics in England. Looking back on the previous two centuries, they recalled all that
their ancestors had endured, even as they found themselves weakened and ostracized

115. For centuries, Catholics in England were subject to discriminatory laws of various
kinds that kept them from full participation in economic, civil and social life.
In 1778 and 1791, Parliament passed the “Relief Acts” allowing Catholics
to practice their faith more freely, own and inherit land,
and join the army (which needed soldiers).

116. Finally, in 1829, the Catholic Emancipation
Act removed all the restrictions on voting
and holding office that had encumbered
Catholics for more than 200 years
Daniel O’Connell

117. In 1845 - Newman a
minister in the church of
England, converted and
joined the Catholic Church
— shocking his family and
Oxford friends — and soon
became an Oratorian
priest. He wrote great
works of theology,
philosophy, literature and
apologetics; founded
oratories, schools and a
Catholic university

118. Newman remind us of the many martyrs of Britain and Ireland — men
and women, priests and laypeople — who, long before him, through
their deaths, bore heroic witness to Our Lord and His Church

119. In 1970, Pope Paul VI canonized a group
of Forty Martyrs of England and Wales;

120. in 1987, Pope John
Paul II beatified
another group of
Eighty-Five Martyrs
of England,
Scotland and Wales.
Additional
Reformation

Britain have been
canonized
separately

122. In England, these martyrs were formerly commemorated within the Catholic
Church by a feast day on 25 October, which is also the feast of Saints Crispin
and Crispinian, but they are now celebrated together with all the 284
canonized or beatified martyrs of the English Reformation on 4 May

123. In Wales, the Catholic
Church keeps 25
October as the feast of
the Six Welsh Martyrs
and their companions.
The Welsh Martyrs are
the priests Philip Evans
and John Lloyd,
John Jones,
David Lewis,
John Roberts, and the
teacher Richard Gwyn

125. COMMENTARY
The reformation in Britain divided
the Christian church.
It was unfortunately a time of division,
hostility, aggression and violence on all
sides, contrary to the express wish
of our Lord Jesus Christ that we should
be one and live in charity and service.
Over time much healing has been
achieved, and all sides have sought
to recuperate cherished unity,
in faith, hope and charity.
We lament the sins of the past, but
more importantly make the most of the
present to build bridges, not walls, and
ask the blessing of full unity in the
future in the Spirit of Christ.
