ANNALS OF THE ENGLISH COLLEGE, SEVILLE
WITH AN ACCOUNT OF FOUR OTHER FOUNDATIONS FROM I 589
TO 1595, AN UNFINISHED MEMOIR, WRITTEN BY FATHER ROBERT
PERSONS, S. J., IN 1 610.
CONTRIBUTED BY THE REV. J. H. POLLEN, S. J.
This memoir, though not dated, must clearly have been written
between the receipt of Father Price's letter (mentioned below) of
ist March 1610, and the author's death i6th April following. It
will therefore be one of his latest compositions. His object was
perhaps to continue a history of the Seminaries, of which a
' Relation ' was written in English about 1593 (C.R.S. v, 259 n),
though no copy of it is at present known. The Seminary of
Seville may be said to live on in that of Valladolid, with which
Bishop Challoner united it about 1770.
Annales Seminarii Seu Collegii Anglorum Hispalensis
Ab Anno 1591
Stonyhurst MSvS., Collectanea P., ff. 344 sqq., a cop}' made by
Father Christopher Grene, while he was in the English College
Rome, about the year 1680. The Original, he says, was Persons 's
autograph, but this has now apparently perished. For facility of
reference a summary of each section is here added in square
brackets.
[§ I. — The Invitation, 1590.
When the English Seminary of Valladolid was founded in 1589,
Father Persons sent priests to almost all parts of Spain to beg
for alms. Fathers John Cecil and William Warford, who had visited
Andalusia, gave Father Persons a glowing account of the prospects
of founding a seminar}' at Seville, and Father Bartolomeo Perez,
then Jesuit Provincial at that place, warmly urged its cause.]

^ The very interesting history of the foundation of the college of Valladolid, was
written at the time by Father Persons, in a Relation sent to Cardinal Allen, 14
September, 15S9 (see letter n. 5 below). It is not identical with the Information
about Seminaries in general written by Persons, ' en Valladolid a primero de
Setiembre de 1589,' which is printed at the end of his Kclacio7i de algiutos martyrios,
Madrid, 1590. (British Museum, 4902, aaa, 54). Persons' Relation is alluded to
in the curious Relacion de un Sacerdote higles . . . de la venida de su Magesiad
\_Philip //] al colegio de las higleses, Madrid 1592. (British Museum, 811, c. 13), and
this is abbreviated in D. Vepes, Historia particular de la f: rsecticion de Iiiglatcrra,
Madrid, 1599, pp. 746-764. Persons' Relation seems also to have been used by H.
More, Historia Provinciae Anglicanae, St Omers, 1660, pp. 156-159. Father John
Blackfan, one of the first students, wrote in 1620 an independent account, Atmales
Collegii S. Albaniin oppido V'alesoleti, privately printed, London, ex typ. Manresana

Register of the College has been preserved, a transcript of it was in the possession
of the late Bishop Goss.
t John Cecil, of Trinity College Oxford, then of Rheims, and Rome, was a
brilliant scholar and at first gave promise of becoming a leader in the English Church.
Unfortunately he was also vain, and, when the hour of trial came, wanting in principle.
When arrested in England, he obtained his liberty by offering to disclose the plans
of Catholics, though he refused to give Such information as would lead directly to
the execution of priests. This led to his living a double life, which we can see
(now that the state papers are open to inspection) was not always honourable. From
time to time there were sinister rumours against him, but he seemed to live them down.
He was trusted by the Catholics of Scotland [Spanish Calendar, 15S6-1603, p. 615),
and a strong letter in his commendation was written by Father Creswell, 30 July
1595 (Vatican Archives, fondo Borghese iii, 124; g. 20). For the rest of his career
see the Dictionary of National Biography.
When this paper was written in 1610, there was no doubt that this duplicity was
a matter of the past, and so Father Persons, though he had knowledge of sundry
things to Cecil's discredit (Tierney III., Ap., 157 ; V., 10, 11, Ap. 14-20), is content
to mention only such as would tend to his favour. Cecil when first arrested gave in
personal descriptions of some here mentioned — ' Blunt and Roberts, men of reason-
able stature, the [second] much beard, the other little, clerkish. Dudley and Younger,
the [first] of middle stature, flaxen, the other tall and black. Walfordand Almonde
are both of reasonable stature, and of hair flaxen, somewhat reddish.' {Dom. El.
238, 179; 239, 13).

stitute, missionumque ratione transmitti possent.
Itaque summopere P. Personio persuadebant ut quam citissime
Hispalim advolaret, rem omnem sine dubio ex sententia efifecturus :
idipsum literis creberrimis affirmabat Bartholomaeus Perez* qui
eo tempore Praepositus erat Provinciae Basticae pro Societate Jesu,
vir magnis ornamentis literarum ac pietatis leloque animarum
plenus, et in Seminaria Anglicana mirifice affectus, ex eo tempore
quo Romse eorum instituta fructusque cognoverat ; unde
quibuscunque modis poterat (poterat autem pluribus) Seminarii
huius Hispalensis erectioni favebat.
[§ 2. — Father Persons's Visit.
Father Persons therefore came at the end of the year, but for
various reason the plan of foundation could not then be realised.
Neither house, nor funds, nor scholars could be provided satis-
factorily, and it did not seem prudent to commence a fresh seminary
until that of Valladolid was better founded. Father Persons too was
occupied in preaching to the English galley-slaves at Puerto S.
Maria, of whom he converted ninety-three, and obtained their
liberty.]
Hac invitatione speque allectus venit Hispalim Personius ad
finem anni i59o,t adductis secum 4 sacerdotibus, ad missionem
Anglicanam paratis, qui erant Joannes Fixerus, Jacobus Youngerus,
Richardus Bluntus, et Richardus Dudlaeus. Hac tamen vice
(ut sunt Dei opera, quo maiora eo pluribus difficultatibus ut
plurimum obsepta) principium Seminario dari non potuit, turn quod
Personius magnam partem hyemis apud portum S. Marias + con-
sumere coactus est, in reducendis ab haeresi nonnullis Anglis qui
in triremibus regiis captivi detinebantur (nonaginta autem et tres
reducti sunt et ab utraque servitute tum animi turn corporis
liberati)§ tum vero quia tarn exiguo illo tempore quo Pinciani
Seminarii necessitas P. Personii absentiam tolerabat, neque domus
commoda Hispali conquiri potuit, neque copia alumnorum ad
studia, neque alimenta ad sustentationem, neque coetera rei tantae
necessaria comparari posse videbantur.
^ Bartolomeo, Perez S.J., see Sommervogel, Bibliotheqiie d. I. C. d. [esus,
VI. 515. There are several of his letters, as Dec. 2 and 27, 1592, extant in foreign
Jesuit archives (Epp. Hisp. xxx.) which show how sincere a friend to the English
Seminary he was. Before the start was made there had been opposition. Father
Estevan de Hojeda in particular wrote from Seville to Aquaviva on the 19th of
April, and again on the 2nd of July — asking him to make Persons wait, as there
was so much begging going on. But the General seems to have decided in Persons'
favour, so Father Perez's course was clear.
t Persons left Madrid on the 5th or 6th of November, and was at Valladolid
I2th November. See his letters below.
X Puerto S. Maria lies on the north side of Cadiz Harbour some twenty-five
miles from Seville.
II Father Persons eventually won the freedom of this considerable number of
prisoners, by a very strong letter (Seville, 4th April, 1591) to Don Juan de Idiaquez,
(of which a translation is printed by Knox, Letters of Cardinal Allen, Introd.,
113-115), insisting that the Spanish ministers should trust the English.

[§ 3.— The Twelve Apostles.
Meantime twelve lately ordained priests were dispatched to
England, of whom the last sent John Brushford was taken and cast
into prison, where he died.]
Omnis itaque cogitatio de Seminario Hispalensi instituendo in

Joannes Robertius ; Oliverius Almannus ; Jacobus Youngerus ;
Thomas Salowaius ; Joannes Fixerus ; N. Rochus ; Richardus

felicissime moritur.
[§ 4.. — The Foundation of a Residence at S. Lucar.
The old church of the English, St. George's, had become very
dilapidated. It was now ceded to the English at Father Persons 's
request, John Cecil having first solicited the grant. Persons (as
visitor) appointed four English chaplains, Thomas Stillington,
D.D., Martin Array, George Ambler, William Seburne, and he also
obtained money from the King of Spain and the Duke of Medina
Sidonia to rebuild the church.]

* For these names see the catalogue of Seville stuilents below.
t The English at St Lucar de Barrameda still formed a Catholic community in
1754. In that year they sent in a petition to the Pope, which gave the following
account of their history. Founded in 15 17, chaplains being appointed by the
bishops of London, Winchester and Exeter, the patronage was made over in 1591
to Cardinal Allen, who named Father Persons as visitor. This was confirmed by a
brief of Clement VIII, 5th March 1592. The Jesuit Provincial continued to hold
that office till 1666, when in consequence of diminished revenues, etc , Cardinal
Howard appointed a Dominican visitor, and this was confirmed by a bull of
Innocent XII, 23rd Dec. 1691. On 2nd June 1696 the same cardinal appointed the
Archbishop of Seville visitor, and things went well after an Englishman, Don
Francis Malbrank, rebuilt the church for 11,000 pais. Now {1754) the colony was
alarmed at a rumour that the Jesuits wanted to obtain a renovation of the brief of
Clement VIII. The signatories are John Price, Profosito^ Richard Butler,

John Cecil gives his account of these proceedings in his Discovery of the errofs
etc. committed by IVi/liam Criton Priest and Professed Jesuit {? Paris) 1599, p. 19,
but with characteristic vainglory claims the lion's share in the foundation not only
of the residence of St Lucar, but also of all the seminaries in Spain.
t Thomas Stillington is described in English College Register as of the arch-
diocese of York. He had been a scholar at Rome (15S0-15S4), (Foley VI, iii, 144) and
took his doctorate there. He returned to Rheims 22nd October 1584, and there
was put to teach ' cases' till 15S9, when Dr Barrett sent him with the second batch
of Rheims students, to commence the new seminary at Valladolid. But as it was found
more convenient that the scholars there should go to the neighbouring school of the
Jesuits, Stillington found himself with little to do, and so would have been glad of
the post Father Persons found for him. He seems to have been there in 1596
(Knox, Doicay Diaries, p. 375.) See also Domestic Calendar Additional, 1580-1625,
p. 314. He died in 1597. A. Jessopp. Letters of H. Walpole, p. 49.
% Martin Array of the diocese of Carlisle was one of the first scholars of
the English College Rome, Cath. Rec. Soc. ii. 87 seq. Then going on to
the English Mission he worked for some time under the name Cotton, and was
more than once made prisoner, Ibid, 250, 275, and Morris Troubles, ii, 164-166,
He was probably now in Spain because England had become too hot for him. He
returned to Rome in company with Father Persons, 1596-1597, Foley vi, 568,
and in 1598, he acted as procurator for the Archpriest Blackwell, during the first
Appeal.
§ George Ambler, of the arch-diocese of Vork, had already finished his course at
Rheims, and was returning to England (Knox, Dotiay Diaries, p. 226), when he
came to Spain to complete his ecclesiastical training.

had Vjeen ordained in 1583 [Douav Fiiary). In placing four chaplains at this church
Father Persons must have been making a provision well in excess of the needs of

[§ 5. — The Foundation of the College.
After the very successful entertainment of Philip II at the new
College at Valladolid, 2nd August 1592, Persons went to Seville.
He had obtained letters of commendation from the king, and from
many of the nobles, and the foundation was accomplished in two
months. List of the principal benefactors and of the first scholars.
The first house was taken in the Calle San Lorenzo, then a larger
one in the Calle S. Magdalena, then after three years, one in the
Cal de las Armas, finally in the Calle de la vSierpe.]

X On comparison of this part of Father Persons's paper with the letter addressed
to him about Seville by Father John Price, 1st March 1610 (Stonyhurst MS. Anglia
A. iii. 9, printed in Tierney's Dodd, ii, Ap. 376) it is clear that Persons has
followed his local informant with but few variations for the names and other details
here given, his own memory being probably slow after the lapse of so many years.
The blanks, which he here left in his MS. and which Father Grene has faithfully
imitated, are probably due to Price having given the titles of the Spanish grandees
summarily, whereas Persons wanted to give them in full ; and for this would
probably desire to consult some Spanish courtier. Over the first name he has made
a curious slip. Father Price enumerated the favourers of this work as ' the
cardinal then living, Don Rodrigo de Castro, the assistant that then was, Don

Cardinal Archbishop of Seville, Uon Rodrigo dc Castro, (1582-1601 — Gams), the
Bishop auxiliary Don Francisco de Carvahal (translated in 1604 to Coria^Ganis),
and Conde de Priego. But, Persons whose sight was now very bad, read the list
wrong. Perhaps as the reader will see, he combined the names with the title
■which followed. At all events he does not see that de Carvajal was a bishop.
The blank which follows was clearly meant to have been filled in with Father
Price's names, ' the dukes and duchesses of Arios, of Vejar, of Sesa.'
* Francis Sarmiento de Mendoza bishop of Jaen, of good repute, both as
a priest and as a writer, was one of the most respected men in the church
of Spain.

enumerates thus, 'Secular gentlemen of the cabildo (? Corporation) don Juan

inquisitors don Francisco Blanco, don Juan Capata, don Juan de Valdes ;— divers
canons of the Cathedral church, don liernardino Rodriguez, "don Alonzo Colomal.
don Francisco de Ribera, the doctors Vahamonte, Pacheco, Santander y Asoca, all
of great learning and singular piety.'
§ Father Francis de Peralta (1554- 1622) deserves a place in our English
Catholic biographies, for he spent most of the active years of his life in the manage-
ment of the English College of Seville, in which he eventually died 7th January
1622 (or 1621 — Sommervogel). He wrote in Spanish, accounts of the deaths of
two students Egerton and Waller (see below) which were published in Latin in the
LittercE Annua; of 1596, and in Spanish in Yepez, p. 852. He also published
accounts of Dona Luysa de Carvahal, etc.— Seville, 1614, and of the martyrdoms
of the Ven. MM. Atkinson, Thulis and Wrennol— Seville, 1616, and composed in
MS. a life of Father Weston.

[§ 6. — The Feast of vSt Thomas, 1592.
A sufficient number of students having arrived from Valladolid
and elsewhere, many of the townspeople came to visit an
institution previously unknown to them. On the 29th of December
therefore, when the college chapel was solemnly opened, an
academic display was given. Emblems and verses on many subjects
adorned the walls of the inner hall, Canon Caloma (afterwards
Bishop of Barcelona) sang the mass in the presence of the Cardinal
Archbishop, and a great gathering of dignitaries. Thomas Egerton
welcomed the cardinal at his arrival, John Vrorthington preached in
Latin on St. Thomas, and deeply touched all present by his reference
to the vocation of the Seminarists. After mass four of the students
took the college oath, of receiving the priesthood and returning to
England. George Chamberlain explained its meaning in a short
Spanish speech, which affected deeply all that were present.]

J It must be remembered that the institution of Seminaries for clergy students
was then an innovation in the Church, and that there were as yet hardly any in
Spain. The account of the visit paid by Philip II mentioned above (note l), dwells
on the great interest taken by the courtiers in the details of this orderly religious life.

had been printed, for a whole day in the college hall, FF. Melchior

Hermenegild presiding, the one in the morning the other in the

left with Persons for Lisbon, to return in due time to England.]

[§ S. — The Residence of Lisbon.
Father Persons had founded a residence for priests, with the
assistance of the Cardinal Archduke Albert, viceroy of Portugal ;
the Count of Alegra, the Archbishop of Lisbon, and the Duke of
Braganza. Many of the Portuguese nobility had suggested and
offered to help in the foundation either of a seminary or of a
residence at Lisbon. Father Persons chose the latter for various
reasons, especially because an Irish College had already been begun
there. William Seburn was appointed provost, John Richards and
Henry Floyd chaplains. The Duke contributed an annual pension
of one hundred gold crowns.]

[§ 9. — St. Omers.
The persecution of Catholics was then extremely violent in
England, and it had been decided that their children, especially
those of the upper class, should be placed under heretical masters
from their early years, to be brought up in Calvinism. Father
Persons betook himself to the king, and setting before him the
extreme wickedness of the measure obtained the institution of yet
another seminary at St. Omers, with the grant of 2000 gold crowns
yearly, its government to be by the vSociety. When Father Aqua-
viva's consent had been given, the seminary was started in very brief
space. Father William Flack, who diligently urged the matter in
person, and Father William Holt, who was then in Brussels, giving
assistance.
Thomas More and William Reyner, priests, were sent to England
from the College of Seville.]

Secular clergy, and papal approbation was given 22nd September 1622, (Tierney, V.
263). Students arrived from Douay 14th Nov. 162S, and the institution still
flourishes.
* John Richards was a priest of the Roman College, who had been sent to
Valladolid as a preparation for England.
t Father Persons does not specify when this constitution, or decree, or proclamation
was promulgated, and thus we cannot sny for certain what it was, nor can we assign
a certain date for Father Persons obtaining a promise from the King. The first
diploma of King Philip was dated 13th March 1593 (Appendix no. 18 below),
though it may have been promised earlier. The settlement at St Omers, however,
had begun perhaps a year before.
This college grew out of the smaller school at Eu in Normandy, instituted by
Persons's agency in 15S2 (C. R. S., I. 31, and «). In 1590 the school was still there,
see Appendix no. 12. But in 1592 various circumstances, principally the prevalence
of war in France, induced the President of Rheims, Dr Barrett, to think of removing
it to St Omers. The municipal records of St Omers show that he made three
applications to the ' magistral ' for leave to settle. The two first are undated, the
third, of 1 8th September 1592, .shows that he, had already purchased a house,
opposite to the Walloon Jesuit College, the classes of which the scholars were to
attend, and the fathers were to ' veiller sur lesdits Anglois.' They were not to
be more than 15 in number, under the direction of ' peres venerables.' St Omers

tion from Eu was probably made soon after.

On the 15th of May Pope Clement VIII expedited the

October Father Persons, having been ill of fever, came to Seville
for change of air, and brought with him three students. Other
new comers were the brothers John and Thomas Knatchbull.

* The foundation deed of St Omers, confirming the grant of 2,000 crowns
pension, has just been printed with notes in the Stoiiyhurst Magazine, 191 1
(xii, 348-355.) It is dated at Brussels, 6th May 1594, but was of course preceded
by many preliminaries. We do not know when the first application was made, but
the first royal answer giving a pension of 1920 crowns, bore date 13th March 1592,
(below Appendix n. 18). This it appears was taken to St Omers by Father Flack
in .^pril. But the officials in Flanders 'made delay,' and on 17th July 1593,
Persons wrote to the general to say that he had new orders from the king about
St Omers. These letters were received by Flenry Walpole, the martyr, in August,
and a copy of them carried by him to Flanders(C. Ji. S. v. 254. A. Jessopp, Letters
of Htnry Walpole, p. 48.) Here he and Father Flack presented the new letters at
Brussels, 27th September, {Dia^y of the Walloon Jesuits. MS. St Omers.) Again
it would seem that delays were made (C R. S., v. 225), from Appendix iS it appears
that Father Persons had returned once more to the king early in 1594, and had
received a yet ampler grant, making the pension 2,000 crowns instead of 1,920, and
appointing a very sure source from which they might be drawn. The foundation
deed of the following May shows the grant in its final and permanent form.
t We see from the previous notes that the course of the foundation at St Omers
was long and complicated, and hence the delay in the consent of Father General
Aquaviva, which the text suggests. He wrote to the Provincial of Flanders, Father
Manare, on the 31st of July 1593, that both he and Cardinal Allen were under the
impression that the plan would come to nothing. It does not appear when the
general's approval was given. It was not until 23rd November 1593, that FF.

* It will be noticed that many of these names are missing from the Register.
Neither the three youths who came with Persons, nor the two Knatchbulls, nor
William Ball, nor Thomas Bruscoe appear. The history of the latter is thus given by
Fr. Blackfan, p. 50. 'Leaving Rome with Fr. Campion in the year 1580, and
reaching England almost simultaneously with him, he was also captured then, and lay
some eight years in prison, and was all but worn out by extreme torments. Finally
having been freed by a wonderful intervention of providence, he passed two years
with friends and relatives in gathering fresh strength and nerve for new combats.
Then he came courageously to this college [Valladolid], to finish the studies which
he had'begun at Rome. Now, leaving in the college the sweet odour of his good life,
he set forth to work in the English vineyard, in which he still works strenuously until
the present time ' [1620].
Of William ball some further details are given in the Littera Annuce S.J.,
pro 1594, 1595 (Neapoli, 1604) p. 569. He had come from England bringing six
youths with him, and died regretting that he was not suffering martyrdom.
Father Henry Walpole, writing to Seville, 2nd August 1593, commends himself
to Mr Knatchbull, who may have been the father of John and Thomas (Jessopp,
Letters of H. Walpole, 1^. 46.)
\ The signs of omission, which Father Grene here makes in such numbers,
point to abbreviations, which may be due to his having read the same matter in the
LittcrcE Annua: (Naples 1604). Referring to them, I find the following particulars.
Three were sent to England in 1595, and amongst others two brothers came, of
whom the eldest was only fifteen. The father, condemned for harbouring a priest,
had died after eight years incarceration ; the mother had given birth to the children
in prison. They are described as singulaily good, and universal favourites. But
unfortunately as they were alive, their names are omitted. On the feast of St.
Hyacinth the scholars had given a literary display, and at Christmas, they had com-
posed and acted a tragi-comedy, Anglia lapsa resurgens, which had greatly pleased
the visitors. The King had given money to buy a hou^e and garden ; and the
Duke of Medina Sidonia, asked by Persons to give a supply of water, gave twice
the quantity requested. So some could be used 'ad ornamentum.'
X These details are taken from Fr. Price's letter, mentioned above, which also
contains further information, as to the furnishing and solemn opening of the church.
Father Price," however, owing to some writer's slip, leaves it uncertain whether the
eventual address was Cal de las Armas, or Calle de la Sierpe.

t See above, note 3. He died in Valladolid, 3id November 160S.
J This John Roberts is to be distinguished from his better known namesake the
martyr, whose entry in the ValladoHd Catalogue is as follows : Johannes Ruperti,
admissus in hoc collegium, iS° Octohris anno 159S, diocesis Bangorensis in Wallia,
ingressus est ordinem Benedictinorum. Vide Annales doinesdcos p. 65 {i.e., Blackfan,
p. S7], ubi martyr occubuit sub finem decembris, i.e., 10^ Decembris, 1610. The
Roberts of I 592, was the son of Laurence Roberts of Killimarsh. He was admitted
to Caius College, Cambridge, in 1576, and he went to Rheims in 1583, and was sent
in the same year to Rome, (Foley vi, 161, who however confuses him with the martyr),
see also J. Morris, John Gerafd {iSSi) p. 74. He is mentioned in the general
memorial from the secular clergy, sent to Rome in favour of the Archpriest,
8th November 1598, as sure to sign if he could be met with. (Stony hurst.
Collectanea P. f. 570). We infer from the last clause that he led a very retired life.
He had also probably, like most other priests in England, changed his name.
Similar causes account for the great difficulty in tracing the subsequent careers of all
the priests here named.
§ Alman (also Almande, and Almonde) Oliver. His college course 15S1 etc.,
may be followed from the Rheims and Roman registers — Douay Diaries, 179, 185,
Foley vi, 153, 552. After his return he kept in ' the South parts' (Foley vi, 743),
and is said to have been with Mr Wynchcombe in Berkshire, (Foley i, 3S1, but the
year must be 1592, not 1591), under the name Henwiche. He has been sometimes
(Challoner, Foley) erroneously considered the brother of John Almond, the martyr,
or even identified with him. The latter however came from South Allerton,
near Liverpool, and was several years Oliver's junior. In 1598 Oliver Almond
wrote to Dr Bagshaw, in favour of a peaceful solution of the ' Wisbech stirs'
Law, Ajchpricst Controversy, p 21, but the editor is mistaken in identifying him
with Richard Parker, the assistant to the Archpriest Blackwell. The college careers
of the two, show that they were quite distinct persons. Later on he seems to have
been a prisoner, for in 1620 he presented a fine chalice to the church of the English
College, Rome, about which Father Grene writes : ' Oliverius Almondus (lib. rub.
n. 1 14) dedit calicem argenteum affabre factum templo hujus collegii, qui adhuc (hoc
anno 1666) super alios omnes existimatur, cum hac inscriptione in fundo seu sub

* James Younger (also Young, alias Dingley and Christopher) born about r^^T,-
His college career may be traced from 15S1, in the Dcitay Diaries p. 1S3, 193,
Foley vi, 158, 50S, 554. After leaving Valladohd he with Fixter, Blunt and Dudley,
had a special audience with Philip II, of which an account may be found in the
Jitlacion de nn Sacerdote Ingles, see above n. i. Younger was captured after a vear
in England, when he lost heart, communicated to the persecuting government a
great many details about priests and Catholics, and was eventually liberated on the
condition that he should supply the government with useful information. This was
not honourable, but it does not prove him to have been a ' spy' and 'apostate,' as
Brother Foley and others have thought. He also offered ' to displace ' Persons.
But this only meant turning him out of his place, not murdering him, Domestic
Calendar, 1591-1594. There is as yet no indication that Younger went on giving
information, when once set free ; nor is it proved that the informations which he
gave when in prison did any great harm to his co-religionists, though they may
have done so. After liberation he went to Douay, and there became a D. D., and
was lecturing at the college in 1596, Douay Diaries 374. See also Acts of English
Alartyrs, p. 98, etc.
t Thomas Saloway, is called Salway and Saulway in the Douay Diaries. He
was of the Diocese of Worcester, went to Rheims, probably very young, in 1583,
and came to Spain after completing his course. Father Blackfan in 1619 writes of him
and Lockwood, ' usque nunc strenuam navant operam in messe ilia,' Annales, p. 47.
X John Fixter, alias ^Vilson, came to England with Cecil, and took a share, no
doubt at Cecil's instigation, in the discreditable informations, which his colleague
gave against Catholics. He stayed in England for a year, then returned to Lisbon,
-where he was in 1597 (T. Birch, Memoirs of Queen Elizabeth, 1754, p. 127.) and
still in touch with John Cecil. He ' died in Spain' before 1602, W.C. Reply to
Father Persons libel, p. 70 : his discreditable conduct having, its eems, come
to light.
§ Nicholas Rook, seems to be a mistake for Henry Rook, diocese of Oxford,
who was at Douay with the Thomas Salway and others of the first colony who
came to Spain in 15S9, and is called Henry Rook by Father Blackfan, Annales,
pp. 40, 43, at the time of his arrival and departure.
II Richard Blunt, entered the society in 1596, and eventually became the first
provincial of the English Province. In that office he had important parts to play in
the varying fortunes of the Catholics during the revival under Queen Henrietta Maria,
in the affairs of the bishop of Chalcedon, and in the missions of Panzani, Conn and
Rosetti, etc.
5[ Francis Lockwood, a Yorkshireman, had been ordained at Rheims, in 15S8.
Douay Diaries, p. 14. Father Blackfan in 1619 (Annales, p. 47) says of him
■conjointly with Saloway, that they were working strenuously in England.

* Richard Dudley, son and heir of Edmund Dudley of Yanworth, Westmorland,
had studied law in London, but abandoning his inheritance went to Rheims in 1583,
thence to Rome, \'alladolid and Seville. He worked at first on the Border (Cecil to
Allen, R.O., Scotland, iv. 4). In 1595 his reputation stood so high that he was
called upon to arbitrate in 'the stirs' of Wisbech. In 1602 he was in London,
passing under the name of Walgrave, and though arrested, had so many friends that
he got off. Cardinal Allen'' s Letters, p. 204 ; Foley, Records, i. 29, vi. 160.
t John Brushford, of the diocese of Exeter, was received at the English Hospice
Rome, 14th June 1581, then entered the college, and was sent to England a priest
in 1585. But he afterwards left the country again and went to Verdun to join the
Jesuits, but his health broke down, and he had to leave. From thence he seems to
have gone to Spain, arriving there 8th October 1590. This appears from the
statements of one Gilbert Laton, a very suspicious character, against whom Brush-
ford perhaps filed an information {Domestic Calendar, 1593, p. 322). Brushford
eventually died in Wisbech, about 1593.

LETTERS OF FATHER PERSONS ABOUT THE FOUNDATION OF

The following letters, or extracts of letters, are preserved by
Father Christopher Grene, S.J., in his Collectanea P., now at Stony-
hurst. The Originals at the time of copying (about 1680) were
in the English College, Rome ; and have now perished, it is to
be feared. Father Grene habitually made extracts, indicating
omissions by the sign ' & .' His annotations he makes some-
times in the margin, sometimes, when using Latin, inserts them
into the text. They are here put at the foot of the page, with his
initials C. G.

gave him the usual scholar's ' viaticum,' and he returned to the Enghsh mission.

REGISTERS OF THE ENGLISH POOR CLARES AT
GRAVELINES, INCLUDING THOSE WHO FOUNDED
FILIATIONS AT AIRE, DUNKIRK AND ROUEN,
1608-1837
CONTRIBUTED BV WILLIAM MARTIN HUNNYBUN, M.A.
ANNOTATED BY JOSEPH GILLOW
The convent of Poor Clares at Gravelines owed its origin to
the zeal of Mrs i\Iary Ward, a person of good family, who went
abroad to St. Omers in 1607 intending to embrace a religious life.
Having made her wish known to the Jesuit Fathers established in
that towm, they recommended her to the French Convent of the
Order of St. Clare. Not having any portion she was unable to
become a choir nun and entered upon her probation as a lay sister.
She remained in this position for nine months and was frequently
sent to solicit alms for the convent. In one of her charitable
journej'S she heard of certain lands at Gravelines bequeathed by a
pious person for the site of a monaster}^ She begged the Fathers
of the Society to employ their influence to procure it for the
founding of a convent of Poor Clares, for the use of the English.
They w^ere successful in this through the friendship of the Bishop
of St. Omers and the Abbot of St. Bertins. In consequence of the
promising aspect of affairs Mrs Ward left the French House and
set out for Brussels, in order to obtain from the Archduke, who
was ruler of the Netherlands, in which country Gravelines was
then situated, the necessary permission for carrying out the good
work. She interested several English gentlemen who resided at
Brussels and obtained the powerful assistance of the Infanta, who
admired her zeal and pious perseverance. Leave to found the
convent was granted on two conditions : (i) that it should be under
the ordinar3^ jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Diocese and (2)
that it should be in no way chargeable to the inhabitants of
Gravelines.
The approbation of the Pope, Paul V, was next obtained, who
by his brief instructed the Bishop of vSt. Omers to take charge of
the convent and afford due assistance in temporal as well as spiritual
matters to the religious who should begin the work.
Mrs Ward, having so far succeeded, collected together a
considerable number of English gentlewomen, who were desirous
of embracing this strict way of life and procured the Bishop's
authority for taking out of the French Convent of vSt. Omers,
called the Archer's House, such English nuns as had been
professed in it. The Abbess refusing her consent, the Bishop was
appealed to, and by his authority Mary Gough, who was appointed
Superior of the new establishment. Sisters Clare Fowler, Lucy
26 REGISTERS OF THE 1609
Daiell and Ann Campion, all English ladies of good birth,
together with two lay sisters, left the convent and took possession
of a house that the Poor Clares had temporarily taken at St. Omers.
Here they were joined by many young women who had heard
of the proposed foundation and left Great Britain and Ireland
to become Religious. Mary Ward having accomplished her
pious work, retired again into the ranks of the humble lay
sisters.
On the 14th of September 1609, the English Poor Clares were
conveyed to Gravelines and took possession of their house there.
It being too small and in too ruinous a state for the due performance
of their religious exercises, they set about building a more suitable
one. This, by the portions of some of their religious and the
assistance of friends, was finished in 161 1, mucii of the manual
labour being carried out by the nuns themselves. The church was
erected by the generosity of one of the Gage family, some of whom
were resident in the town. As soon as the religious were able to
carry out the strict observance of their Rule, the election of
ofl&cers, presided over by the Provincial of the Friars Minor, took
place. All the votes were given for Madame Gough, as abbess, and
they elected as vicaress and councillor. Sister Ann Brooke ; ist
portress and councillor. Sister Gage, in religion called Colette of
St. Andrew; 2nd portress and councillor. Sister Frances of St
John Walleston ; sacristan and councillor, Agnes of St John
Knightley ; Procurator, vSister Frances of St Dominie Havers ;
infirmarian and councillor. Sister Clare of St John Tyldesley ; and
councillors onl5^, Sisters Clare of St John Fowler, Ann Tholward
and Eucy Darell. The Abbess reserved to herself the offices of
Novice mistress and of choir mistress.
For some years, under the Abbesses Gough and Gage the convent
suffered much from pecuniary difficulties, but with the accession
of Elizabeth Tyldesley, called Sister Clare Mary Ann, these
difficulties were removed and the convent was in a very flourishing
state.
In 1619 the number of professed nuns had so much increased
that it was resolved that a filiation should be made at Aire in
the province of Artois. It was called the Convent of the
' Immaculate Conception of our beloved Lady.' Eleven religious,
bix., Dorothy Knightley, Catherine Bentley, Grace Pennington,
Mildred Alcock, Margaret and Elizabeth Crisp, Frances Philipson,
Mary Goolding, Elizabeth, Dorothy, and Ann Radcliffe left Grave-
lines for Aire, having as Abbess, Catherine Keynes, and as
Vicaress, Helen Parker.
Again in 1625 the Convent of Nazareth possessed such a
considerable number of nuns that the Abbess Tyldesley deter:nined
to found a new house at Dunkirk under the title of ' Convent of
Bethleem of English Poor Clares.* This new Convent was unable
to receive novices, and the nuns at first proposed only to open
school. Eleanor Dillon was chosen Superior and with her went
four Irish sisters, Martha Chevers, Alice Nugent, Mary Dowdel
and Cecily Dillon. In 1629 these nuns left for Ireland where they
founded two houses of Poor Clares This new convent was scarcely
established when, owing to the fault of the chaplain, a revolution
broke out in the Mother House. Without any reason he deposed
Abbess Tyldesley and chose in her place vSister Margaret Radcliffe.
1652 ENGLISH POOR CLARES AT GRAVELINES 27
The nuns were divided into two camps and there was no happiness
or peace in the Convent. This state of things was put an end to by
a great misfortune which befell the Convent. A fire broke out and
in a very short time the granary, three dormitories, the refectory and
the novitiate were burnt to the ground ; but none of the nuns or
their pupils were hurt. The governor of the town came to condole
with the Religious and was much surprised when he was told of
the unhappy changes which had taken place in the convent. A few
days after the Provincial of the English Jesuits of Watten sent the
Guardian of St Omer to visit the Poor Clares. They were fully
aware of the illegality of their position and desired to be released
from it. He proposed a new election, which was gladly received
and the same day Abbess Tyldesley was re-established in office.
The chaplain was sent to the English College at Douai and vSister
Margaret Radcliffe, together with ten other religious, to the house
at Dunkirk.
The ravages caused b}^ the fire were fully repaired the next
year and the nuns were consoled by a brief from Pope Urban
VIII, full of affection and compassion for their troubles and
sympathj^ for the courage these holy women had at all times
displaj-ed.
Fresh troubles arose and the poor Clares in order to put an end
to interference obtained from Pope Urban VIII a bi'ief which
placed the Convent of Gravelines under the jurisdiction of the
Bishop of St Omers.
Three or four years later the venerable Abbess desired to found
another house to relieve the crowded state of the Convent at
Gravelines. The town of Rouen seemed the most suitable for her
purpose ; but, unhappily, France was then at war with Spain and
the Abbess found her work suddenly stopped. The town of
Gravelines was besieged b}^ the French and the nuns and their
pupils found the peace, they had enjoyed for seventeen years,
disturbed during the forty-three days the siege lasted. The
French general-in-chief visited the convent and the thanksgiving
for the taking of the town by the French was sung in the convent
chapel, the parish church being almost destroyed during the
bombardments.
When quiet was again established thirteen nuns started for
Rouen, having as their head Mrs Mary Taylor, in religion Marj' of
St Frances, as Abbess, and Margaret Bedingfeld, in religion Sister
Margaret Ignatius as Vicaress, together with Sisters Winefride
Giffard, Helen Bradshaw, Ann Prow, Elizabeth Sternhold, Elizabeth
Browne, Ann Perkins, Ann Yates, Margaret Sternhold, Elizabeth
Salisbury, Elizabeth Hone, Mary Peterson, Elizabeth Martin and
Eleanor Bradshaigh. The new convent received the name of
' Convent of Jesus-Mary-Joseph of English Poor Clares of Rouen,
Normandy.' In 1650 it was legally recognised by letters patent
granted by Louis XIV.
In 1652 Gravelines was again beleaguered, and after a siege, which
lasted sixty-nine days, was again taken by the vSpaniards.
During the first month of the rule of Louisa Taylor, who
succeeded Madame Tyldesley as Abbess, the convent met witli a
terrible catastrophe. The powder magazine of the fortress caught
fire and the explosion caused great damage to the town and the
fortifications. The convent only separated from the fortress by
28 REGISTERS OF THE 1652
the Place Roj^ale, was much injured, but none of the nuns or
pupils were hurt, though they were much terrified by the sad event
and some had to leave the ruined convent for a time to recover
from the shock and until the dilapidated buildings were restored.
Scarcely were these works finished when war once more broke out
between Spain and France, and Gravelines was again attacked.
The poor nuns suft'ered great anxiety and fear for many days, but,
on August 30, Gravelines surrendered. About this time William
Warren, a native of Canterbury, a 3'oung ecclesiastic, aged 2S years,
fa\'ourably known as a preacher and director, was attached to the
Convent of Nazareth as Confessor.
Under the government of Madame Taylor the convent adopted
the reform of St Colette and its constitutions. Up to then the Poor
Clares of Gravelines were not cloistered. The chancel of the chapel
was in consequence separated from the choir by an iron grille, which
was opened onh' to allow of the altar being arranged.
Ann Bedingfeld, in religion Anne Bouaventure, was 5th Abbess,
and during her prelacy two notable novices entered — Lad}^ Warner,
by birth Ann Trevor Planmer, and her sister-in-law Elizabeth
Warner. The former had become a convert with her husband, Sir
John Warner, and both embraced the religious state, he joining
the Society of Jesus and she becoming a poor Clare. They made
their religious profession on the same day in the Chapel of the
Convent at Gravelines.
In 1662 Louis XIV visited the Convent at Gravelines and again
in 1670 and 1671. Madame Bedingfeld obtained from the king, at
his first visit, an endowment for the convent of 1,200 livres, and at
his last visit a further endowment of 280 livres, to be paid annually
from the royal treasury. A further favour was granted by the
French government permitting a full discharge from any paj^ment
of good passing to or from England through any of the ports and
free carriage of letters addressed to or sent by the Poor English
Clares of Nazareth.
From 1 73 1 to 1740 no novices were received at the convent,
probably owing to the fact that the time of persecution in England
had partly passed and also that the number of Catholic families
diminished daily, owing to the progress of Protestantism. This
caused much pecuniary distress to the Convent, owing to the loss
of patrons. But from 1740 to 1750 this state of things improved
and 13 novices were received.
vSeveral years passed with perfect tranquillity in the Convent of
Nazareth and in 1760 the census made by the town showed that
the community consisted of 30 nuns. However in 1762 the
nuns were much disturbed by the decree of the Parliament of
Paris, banishing the English as well as the French Jesuits from
France.
The Convent prospered from 17S3-17S9 when the revolution
broke out and a time of trouble, deceptions, misfortunes and
irreligion began, and a decree of the States General, sanctioned by
the king (Louis XVI) suspended the taking of monastic vows in
all monasteries whether of men or women. Many religious orders
protested against these laws and finally the National Assembly
decreed that exception should be made for schools and nuns of
foreign nations. So the Poor English Clares of Graveline were
safe and their house remained open. The public troubles did not
1814 ENGLISH POOR CLARES AT GRAVELINES 29
diminish the number of the French and English pupils. In 1791
the Municipalit}' forbad the religious to teach English and their
chapel was closed to the public.
The great revolutionary storm did not trouble the Poor Clares
until the 12th October ' 1793 when the popular Assembly of
Gravelines ordered that rigorous measures should be at once
taken against the ci-devant Poor Clares. At four o'clock in the
evening soldiers were placed as sentinels at all the gates of the
Convent, and the papers and property of the nuns was seized.
Five days later the two communities of Benedictines and Poor
Clares from Dunkirk were brought prisoners to the Convent,
consisting in all of forty-two persons, making the whole number
of prisoiiers sevent3'-seven. A few days after this Commissioners
arrived and effaced all pictures and tokens of religion, royalty or
nobility, both within and without the enclosure, and likewise
secured all the sacred vessels, ornaments, and vestments, shut and
sealed up the chapel and sacristy. For eighteen months the three
communities were confined together and suffered many privations
and afflictions, particularly from the want of fuel in a very severe
winter. They were reduced to the necessity of cutting up
the cupboards and wainscoting of the house and even the trees
of the garden to obtain firing. They were allowed only a
very small sum daily amounting to about twopence of English
money.
At length they were declared at liberty ; but seeing no prospect
of an end to their miseries where they were, they petitioned for
passports to return to England, which were granted. Before leaving
Gravelines the nuns appeared before the municipal authorities and
stated that they left Gravelines with much regret ; grateful for all
the kindness shown them during the time they had resided there.
They further declared their firm intention of returning when the
war between France and England was ended. They placed their
property in the hands of a Procurator and refused to renounce any
of the rights they had acquired by their long residence in the
town ana left with confidence, under the protection of the laws
and the municipality, the little property they had purchased with
their small means. Two days later, on 2Dth April 1795, they gave
fullest power to Robert Mxirdoch, a merchant at Dunkirk, to manage
their property during their absence and claimed the value of their
furniture which had been sold.
On 2gth April they left Gravelines, sailing the next day from
Calais and reached London on May 3.
On arriving in England they met with a warm reception from
many persons, but to the Duchess of Buckingham and her worthy
chaplain they were principally indebted for their support in
London. . At a later date she received them at her house at
Gosfield in Essex. Afterwards they removed to Coxside near
Plymouth, and thence to Clare Lodge near Catterick, but finally
settled at a house at Gosfield, lent them by the Duchess and where
they could live in a manner suitable to their monastic statutes. The
venerable Abbess Keith, who had suft'ered mau}^ troubles during
her stay in England, was taken ill and died at Gosfield in 1799.
Her successor, Madame Penswick, also died there in 1813.
On the 2nd of December 1S14, the English Poor Clares
embarked for Calais where many friends met them and on the 6th
30 REGISTERS OF THE 1814
of that montli they reached Gravelines. The community consisted
of Madame Martin, Abbess, Elizabeth Trump, Catherine Lee, Ann
Meynell, Jane Green and two sisters from the former convent of
Poor Clares at Dunkirk. The inhabitants gave them a most noble
welcome and they went at once to their chapel, where they found
the altar and ornaments of the choir in as good order as if they
had never left the convent. In spite of great pecuniary difiS-
culties the Abbess succeeded in carrying out the necessary
repairs to the convent and by iSi6 the community was in a state
of prosperity.
Gradually the number of nuns at the Convent of Gravelines
diminished, death and the decreasing number of pupils and novices
rendering its position very precarious. The loss of M. Riviere,
who for fifty-five years had been their temporal father and had
been able to save by his noble disinterestedness and ability the
greater part of the property of the nuns, while other religious
communities had been completely or almost completely robbed of
their goods, was a most severe blow and was soon followed by the
death of the Abbess Martin.
Four years after the death of Madame Martin the number of
nuns was reduced to four. The school had scarcely any pupils and
no religious vocations offered. Abbess Cullen at last laid their
diflSculties before the Poor Clares at Plymouth and towards the
spring of 1833 three English nuns left that convent and started
for Gravelines, accompanied by their chaplain. When they
reached the convent they found that one of the nuns had left
and that there remained only the Abbess Cullen and Sisters
Latham and Page. The new sisters could not accustom themselves
to their new surroundings, and two of them after some months
returned to England, while the third who wished to accompany
them was prevented by illness. Gravelines did not please the
English chaplain and one day, when least expected, he said
farewell to the Abbess and left.
The community of Gravelines was now truly a house of
mourning. Of the four nuns who remained two were constantly
ill. Sister Latham only remained in good health, and she resolved,
with the consent of the Abbess, to write to the Poor Clares at
Scorton Hall and ask them to come to their help, offering very
advantageous terms of filiation. In 1834 six nuns from vScorton
joined the convent, and signed an agreement by which they obliged
themselves to follow faithfully the rules of the community. The
leading spirit among them was Sister Frances vSummers, who
guided the others in all their difficulties with great firmness and
ability. Unhappily three months after reaching Gravelines her
health was completely ruined and she died after a short illness.
The nuns from Scorton lost heart and perceived the uselessness of
their efforts to sustain the convent. The death of the chaplain,
M. Louvel, was the final blow, and taking a desperate resolution,
they took leave of Madame Cullen and Sister Latham, and all five
returned to Scorton Hall, without waiting for the end of the time
they had agreed to stay.
The convent showed a picture of complete desolation, the few
pupils left the school and Sister Latham could no longer carry on
the labours of the house, her duties as a Religious and teach her
classes. With one vSister confined to her bed by acute suffering, and
1857 ENGLISH POOR CLARES AT GRAVELINES 31
the other exhausted by her various duties, the end was near. They
were not however in pecuniary need, having, besides the produce
of their garden, a yearly income of about i^ioo, which was rent
paid by the tenants of their rural properties.
M. I'Abbe Gobrecht, who after the death of M. Louvel, had
been appointed Confessor to the nuns, often discussed the situation
with the two Poor Clares, as to the best means of replacing the
nuns who had left. He feared that unless some steps were taken
to ally themselves to a religious body, by the death of the two
owners of the property, it would fall, by French law, into the hands
of the State. He proposed to associate them with the Ursuline
Nuns of Boulogne-sur-mer and thought this would offer more
guarantee of stability, than again seeking subjects from the English
convents of Poor Clares, who already had tried more than once to
establish themselves at Gravelines and had failed.
The Poor Clares approved of his suggestion and, at their request,
he made a journey to Boulogne and offered the Ursulines there to
transfer to them under certain conditions the convent of Nazareth
and the property belonging to it. Legal difficulties arose, but
were overcome and three French nuns came to Gravelines and
obtained permission to open a home of their order. The Abbess,
Madame Cullen, never knew the result of these negotiations, she
died in January 1838, while they were still pending. By the death
of the Abbess Cullen, Sister Latham was the only remaining
English Poor Clare at Gravelines ; in fact the Convent of Poor
Clares existed no longer. It had lasted for 229 years and 296 pious
women had lived the hard and severe life of the order within its
walls.
Although Madame Latham's constitution seemed utterl}' ruined
by the adverse events of the last eight long and disastrous years,
under the loving care and sympathy of the Ursuline nuns, she
recovered her health, but she longed to return to her native country
and as perfect liberty of action was left her she left Gravelines and
returned to her family at Liverpool in 1S39. Ten years later, when
her health was completely restored, she came back and passed eight
days with the nuns. She found the convent and school flourishing,
but the recollection of what had been saddened her and she returned
again to England and the last English Poor Clare of Gravelines
died in 1857 at Liverpool.

families, and of four of the chaplains, in which the registers are

S. Mary Felix Petre de Fithlers Abbess of the English Poor

Profession having governed that Monastery during 43 years, she
fled from the corruptions of the Age at an early time of Life &
took the solemn Vows of Religion ; in the Exact performance of
which she became a Model of the most Eminent Virtue. It is
hard to say which was most Conspicuous, her Humility in Obey-
ing or her affability in Commanding, but surely we need no greater
elogium of her Merit, than the tears of her Religious Sisters, &
the Blessing of the Poor, who Equally regret her as a mother & a
friend. As her Life was spent in the steady practice of Virtue, &
for a long course of years had been tending to perfection, we
humbly hope she will meet the Reward prepared for the Just,
but as all her Virtues & all her failings must stand before that
God in whose sight the heavens are Unclean, we earnestly Entreat
your prayers that he may spare his Servant & bring her Speedily

most Charitably spent in quality of ConP toy^ general Satisfaction
y^t She eventually withdrew to her relations in Liverpool, where she was
living in 1857, and was the last of the community.
t Son of John Warren and his wife Anne Downes, born at Canterbury,
CO. Kent, in 1631 ; converted at the age of 19; educated at St Omer's College,
whence he went to the English College at Rome in 1651 ; was ordained priest
17 Dec. 1656, left the College 24 April 165S, to be confessor to the Poor
Clares at Gravelines, and so continued till his death 19 Nov. 1701, aged 70.
He wrote — (i) 'Devotions to Saint Joseph, spouse of Blessed Mary, Virgin
Mother of our Lord. With Life and Miracles of that glorious Saint. Written
In l" rench by the R.F. Paul de Barrie, of the Society of Jesus, and now
Englished,' s.l., 1663, i6mo., title, preface, and errata 4fF, pp. 250; (2) 'A

Clares in Graveling in order to the better observance of their institute. Very
usefull and profiable for all religious women.' Doway, Mairesse, (1684), iSmo,
pp. 182; (3) 'Some Reflections upon the Prerogatives, Power, and Protection
of St Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed and ever Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of God. With several Devotions to the said most glorious Patriarch.'
Printed in the j'ear 1710, i2mo., title, preface, &c., 12 pp., pp. 226, besides
frontispiece of St Joseph and Child Jesus. The author in his preface states
that his work was mainly drawn from 'Pious Remarks upon the Life of St
Joseph. Translated from the French of R.F. Paul de Barrie, S.J.,' all the
copies of the second English edition of which were brought up. M. Raymond
de Bertrand, in his 'Histoire du Convent des Pauvres Clarisses Anglaises de
Gravelines,' Dunkerque, 1857, implies (p. 104) that Mr Warren wrote his
'Reflections' about the same period as his 'Pious Collections,' hence the 1710
edition was either a posthumous or second edition. M. de Bertrand (p. 103
ibid.) erroneously credits Mr Warren with A Method of Conversing with
God, 'La premiere edition tir6e a un petit nombre d'exemplaires ne sufl5sant
pas aux demandes des amateurs, il se vit dans la necessite d'en faire
imprimer une seconde au format in-iS,' hence 'The Second Edition. Trans-

In the year of our Lord 1794 y*^ 29'*^ of December has happily
departed this Life having received the Extreem Unction, (depriv'd
of the other rites of our Holy Mother the Church, by an Appoplexy)
at our Convent of English Poor Clares at Graveline, the R'' ]\r
Anthony Lowe, Aged 62, Confessor of this our Convent, which
Office he faithfully perform'd the space of ;^6 years to the great
Satisfaction of our Com'^, who much lament the loss of so good
a Father. He was of a most Charitable disposition, ever
ready to help poor distressed people, this Inclination, caused him
often to Inconvenience himself, rather than refuse his assistance to
those who craved it, his piety & great Confidence in God, were no
less singular, than his perfect Conformity to the divine will, which
doubtless enabled him to sustain with CheerfuUness & patience the
many afflictions it pleased God to visit him with, in particular
those attending an 111 state of health, as also the deprivation of all
spiritual help during the 18 months he was Confined by the rulers
of those troublesome times, which space he spent, as we have all
reason to think in fervent preparation for his last hour, which tho'
sudden, we hope was not unprovided for, but as the greatest purity
is requisite for those that appear at the Tribunal of an impartial
Judge, I humbly crave for the repose of his Soul, the assistance of
your pra3^ers for Charity. Requiescat in Pace.t
College at Rome, where he was admitted 8 No'i'. 1708, and was ordained priest
20 Dec. 1710. He left the college fo be confessor to the Poor Clares at
Gravelines on 19 April 171 1, and so continued till his death as above. In the
diary of the college at Rome he is put down as aged about ^3 i^ 170S. He
was brother to Fr. Edward Birkbeck alias Poole, S.J., and a relative of Fr.
Gervase Pole (or Poole), S.J., and Bro. Gervase Pole, S.J., after one of whom
lie vras no doubt named.
* Thomas Benyon, son of William Benyon, of Ince, co. Lancaster, yeo-
man, and his wife Mary Bradshaw, having been confirmed by Bishop Witham,
was sent to the English College at Rome, where he was admitted 17 Aug.
1732, aged 17, was ordained priest 14 March 173Q, and left the college to
become confessor at Gravelines, in which office he died as above.

1787 english poor clares at gravelines 167
[Added memoirs of other Chaplains]
From time to time the following notes have been made with respect
to confessors at Gravelines which may help to fill up gaps in the list : —
The Rev. William Cape appears to have been here when at the request
of Fr. Christopher Davenport, O.S.F., he translated from the French —
'The Chronicle and Institution of the Order of the Seraphicall Father St
Francis,' St Omer, John Heigham, i6iS, dedicated to 'the Englishe Poore
Clares in Gravelinge.'
Fr. Arthur Francis Bell, O.S.F., the venerable martyr who suffered
at Tyburn in 1643, was appointed Confessor here in 1622, and continued
as such till 1623.
Rev. Robert Rookwood, son of Edward Rookwood, of Euston, co.
Suffolk, Esq., by Elizabeth, daughter of William Brown, of Elsing, co.
Norfolk, Esq., younger brother of Anthony, ist Viscount Montagu. Until
twenty-eight years of age he lived the life of a country gentleman, when, bj'
the advice of a Jesuit father, he set out for St Omer's, but on his way was
arrested at Gravescnd with his companions, brought before the Bishop of
London, and committed to Newgate. After seventeen weeks imprisonment
ht made his escape, and so reached St Omer's College, whence he went to
Rome and was admitted into the English College under the alias of
Rawley, October 3, 1620, aged 32. There he was ordained priest on Holy
Tiin;)cents, 1621. and left the College 10 be Confessor at Gravelines,
September 21, 1626. Thus he remained till 1648 when he accompanied the
nuns who left Gravelines to found a new convent at Rouen, and there
continued Confessor till his death, November 12, 1668 — [Foley, Records S./.,
zcls. i.. Hi., and vi.)
Rev. Thomas Jenison alias Francis Gray, son of John Jenison, of Wal-
worth, CO. Durham, Esq., by Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Gerard, of The
Bryn, co. Lancaster, Knt., in which county he was born in 1603. He was
admitted into the English College at Rome, November 6, 1633, aged ^.,0,
and was ordained priest, March 22, 1637. On the following October 15th, he
left for I'iacenza, where for about six months he was socuts \o rlie
procurator of the college. Subsequently he became Confessor at Grave-
lines, possibly when Mr Rookwood left for Rouen in r648.
Rev. James Tomlinson alias Greene, son of James Tomlinson, of
Winmarleigh, by Jane, daughter of Thomas Greene, of Bowers House m
Little Nateby, co. Lancaster, Gent., was admitted into the English College at
Rome April 24, 1694, aged 21 was ordained priest December 21, 1697, an'l
left the college April i, 1701, to assist the Rev. W^illiam W^arren at Grave-
lines, whom he succeeded as Confessor upon his death in the following
November. He seems to have left in or before April, 1711.
According to Bro. Foley [Records S.f.) and Dr Oliver [Collections, -p.
370) several Jesuits served as confessors at Gravelines, but it is most prohab'e
ttia' they were not resident chaplains, being only occasional or extraordinary
confessors. Foley [vii 864) says that Fr. Thomas Worsley alias Hervey, S.J.,
Rome) 19 March 1734, was son of Samuel Lowe and Alice Spencer, protestants,
of London. After the death of his father, his mother having re-married :i
Catholic, was received into the Church, and brought up her son Anthonv a
Catholic. He was sent to Rome, but on his voyage the vessel was attacked
by the Algerians, and in the fight prior to capture, young Lov^e was
wounded, and detained a prisoner for eleven months. From this wound he
remained lame for the rest of his life. Upon his release, he proceeded to
the English College at Rome, where he was admitted 9 June 1749. There he
was ordained priest, 18 Feb. 175S, and on the following 10 April was sent to
be confessor at Gravelines, where he passed the remainder of his career as
above.

was confessor to the nuns here during the latter pact of his life, which ended
a* Liege at the age of 74 in 1671. Again Foley says (vitj 395) that the
venerable martyr, William Ireland alias Ironmonger, S.J., was for several
years confessor to the Poor Clares at Gravelines prior to his going to the
English mission in 1677. He suffered at Ayburn two years later. Dr Oliver
says that Fr. John Panting, S.J., was confessor in or after 1761 till 1766.
At that period he was minister at Watten. — J. G.]

THE REGISTER BOOK OF PROFESSIONS, etc., OF THE
ENGLISH BENEDICTINE NUNS AT BRUSSELS AND
WINCHESTER, NOW AT EAST BERG HOLT. 1598-1856
CONTRIBUTED BY THE LADY ABBESS AND COMMUNITY OF
ST Mary's abbey, east bergholt
EDITED BY JOSEPH S. HANSOM
The Register Book is of substantial paper, 11x8 inches, and is
well bound in brown leather. The first twenty pages of Registers
are margined all round in red ink. The writing is very clear, with
few corrections or erasures, the ink being still fresh. This part
includes all the first registers down to the year 16S2, and is evidently
a fair copy from some earlier writing. Then follow six pages in a
large sloping hand continued until 1717, the ink being quite brown.
Four pages follow in neat copper-plate bringing the register down
to 176S. The remaining seven pages complete the Winchester
Register and are penned bj'^ the same hand. The last entry at
Winchester is 4th November 1S56. In the original, but not repro-
duced here, are fifteen more pages of modem Registers since the
Community moved to East Bergholt. Preceding the Registers are
thirty-seven pages of financial affairs of the Community.
The spellings are seldom beyond easy recognition. The names in
religion of the nuns are usually given, and it is thought that no
changes were made from the baptismal names in several of the
earlier ones. Where there is evidence to the contrary, the baptismal
names are supplied in foot notes. This is important to fix the
positions in families. The paternal names are often well known as
those of prominent Catholic families. There are however cases of
mixed marriages, temporisers, &c. Some foot notes help to clear
the ground in cases. The years of profession, in the margins, have
been removed to the head line of each register.

ROSARY CONFRATERNITY LISTS
CONTRIBUTED BY THE REV. BEDE JARRETT, O.P.
The lists here published are taken from two MSS. volumes iu the
possession of the English Dominican Province. The first is of
paper 8x7 inches, and is really the conventual register of the
Priory at Bornhem, where the English Fathers were reorganised
by Cardinal Howard, O.P. It begins as a summary of rents and
debts, and ends as a diary. Between these tw^o parts is wedged
in the list here published, written in a contemporary hand. Many
of the names are of the boys (students) at the Bornhem College
(cf. Merry England, Bygone Colleges, by the Rev. Raymond
Palmer, 6. P., Feb. 1SS9), and the rest are probably, for the most
part, of those w'ith whom the Dominican missionaries came in
contact in England. This book is in the Archives at S. Dominic's
Priory, London. The other is a smaller volume (45^ inches by
25^) of white cardboard, covered by thin vellum. It is preserved
at S. Peter's Priory, Hinckley. Within its cover is the following
in F. IJnderhill's writing : —
' LiBER Inscriptorum IN confraternitate:>i sacratissimi
RosARii A R.R.RP.F.F.O.P.P. Anglorum.
Tlioma Worthington (ab anno 172S in annum 1753)
Antonino Hatton (ab. 1753 in 17S3)
Edwardo Leadbitter (ab. 1783 in 17S5)
Ambrosio Gage (ab. 1785 in 1796)
Alberto Underbill (ab. 1796.'
This volume, unlike the other, was kept in England. F. Worth-
ington settled in 1727 at Middleton Hall, near Leeds, till his death
in 1753. A year previously he was joined by F. Hatton who
removed to Stourton Lodge, where he died in 17S3. He was
succeeded by F. Leadbitter, who left however in 17S5 for vSelby.
In that year F. Gage took his place at Stourton Lodge till 1796.
When he died, F. Underbill, to whom the book now passed, was
then serving the missions of Roundhay and LIunslet near Leeds,
and eventually added Selby to his field of labours. In 1S02 he
founded the mission in Leeds itself where his little chapel has
become a stately Cathedral. In 1814 he removed to Hinckley,
taking the book with him, where it still remains. The various
places of its sojourn are evident also in the lists w'here the
residence of each member of the Confraternity is given. It will be
noted that the lists become almost wholly — towards the end —
a register of the girls' school attached to the convent of Michelgate
Bar at York. By this means the missing page of 39 names
(mentioned in the History of St Mary's Convent, with a preface
1707 ROSARY CONFRATERNITY LISTS 205
by H. J. Coleridge, S.J., 1SS7, London, p. 3S9) can be recovered
by noting the dates 1750, June 3, to June 14, i-'^z.

missions. After 17 years in England he retired to Flanders where he died
5 Jan. 1790. {Haverstock Hill MSS.)

THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF CAPHEATON
KIRKWHELPINGTON, NORTHUMBERLAND,
A CHAPLAINCY OF THE SWINBURNES, 1769-85.
CONTRIBUTED BY CARLISLE J. S. SPEDDING.
HISTORICAL NOTES BY JAMES RAE BATERDEN.
The Capheaton branch of the ancient Northumbrian family ol
Swinburne dates from 1274, when Alan de Swinburne purchased
the estate from the Fen wicks. Alan being in holy orders had no
issue and in 12S4 he gave Capheaton to his brother Sir William
de Swinburne in exchange for Chollerton on the North Tyne,
where Swinburne Castle is situate.
The earliest chaplain we can trace to Capheaton is Dom Ralph
Cuthbert Farnworth, O.S.B. He was one of the family of that
name who lived at Runshaw Hall in the parish of Leyland, Lanes.
Born in 16S0, professed at St Lawrence, Dieulward in Lorraine in
1701, and afterwards went to St Gregory's, Douai ; his brother
John Jerome was also a Benedictine. Ralph Cuthbert was on the
mission at Wetherby, Yorks., in 1726 and came to Capheaton in
1727. He became President-General in 1741 and so continued till
1753, about which time he resigned the chaplaincy at Capheaton,
where he meanwhile had had assistants from about 1743. He died
at Paris on New Year's Day, 1754. Fr. Farnworth's first assistant
at Cjipheaton was^-
Dom John Benedict Simpson, O.S.B. , alias Daniel, who would
be at Capheaton along with Fr. Farnworth. Fr. J. B. Simpson left
in 1747 and afterwards spent twenty-two years till 1769 at Weston
in Bucks. Finally in 1769 he became Vicar of the nuns at Cambrai,
and died there loth July 1775. He was succeeded by—
Dom Hugh Frankland, O.S.B., a native of York, professed at
St Gregory's, Douai, in 1700 and ordained in 1705. He was sub-
Prior of St Edmund in Paris in 170S, returned to St Gregory in
1709. He went to Yorkshire in 1713, and was at Middleton Lodge,
close to Ilkley, for 26 years, 1719-1745, came to Capheaton in 1745,
and probably stayed there until 174S when he went to Huddleston
Hall, a few miles east of Leeds, where he died i6th May 1755.
Dom John Placid Rigby, O.S.B., succeeded Fr. Frankland, and
received faculties from Bishop Dicconson 5th March 174S-9. The
Bishop elsewhere calls him John Daniel Rigby, so he was possibly
a relation of Fr. J. B. Simpson, alias Daniel, as likewise of his
successor, Dom Robert Daniel. He was a native of Lancashire,
professed in 1725 at Dieulward, of which he became sub-Prior, was
at Hanley, Co. Worcester, in 1736, and came north in 1746. When
he left Capheaton in 1750 he became chaplain to Lady Gascoigne,
238 REGISTERS OF CAPHEATON, KIRKWHELPINGTON
subsequently, about 1755, returned to the south and died at Dieul-
ward in 1764.
Dora Robert Daniel, O.S.B., succeeded Fr. Rigby in 1750. He
was born at Whittingham, co. Lancaster, and was also professed
at Dieulward in 1735, and coming to the mission in the north was
stationed at Capheaton for part of the years 1 750-1. He then
removed to Whitehaven, thence to Birtley, co. Durham, in 1759,
where he remained until his death 12th Sept. 17S1. His successor
at Capheaton v,-as —
Dora Evans Anselra Eastham, O.S.B., a native of Walton-le-Dale,
Lanes., an alumnus of St Gregory, Douai, professed at St Edmunds
in 1731. His first mission was Whitehaven in 1750, which he
exchanged with Fr. Daniel in the early part of 1751 for Capheaton,
where he remained until 1754. He then went to Coughton in
Warwickshire, thence to Low Strangeways, Lanes. ; finally retired
to St Edmund, Paris, in 1773, and died at La Celle 13th May 1774.
Dora Peter Dunstan Holderness, O.S.B., professed at St Law-
rence, Dieulward, in 1741, appears to have come to Capheaton as
assistant to Fr. Farnworth or Fr. Eastham in 1753, and remained
here for 20 years, until probably about the middle of 1773. From
Capheaton Fr. Holderness returned to his abbey at Dieulward,
where he held the office of Prior until his death on 25th June 17S2.
Capheaton seems to have been his only mission. It was during
the chaplaincy of Fr. Holderness that the new chapel at Capheaton
was opened and the Register commenced.
In the first Register, a small book about 5 inches by 4 inches,
of 40 leaves, which together with its successor is preserved at
Swinburne Castle by Mr Cuthbert D. G. Riddell, there is a note
as follows, 'This Chapel at Capheaton had prayers in it for the
first time, St Ursula's day, ye 21 Oct. 1759.' 'Prayers' was the
usual term for service, 'Mass' was a word rarely or ever used
until well into the 19th centur3^ The first Register runs from
24th Feb. 1760 to 25th Feb. 1774; it is apparently all in one hand-
writing, possibly that of Fr. Holderness, or more probably a
member of the household, except the last two entries. These are
apparently in a dift'erent hand, and the phraseology is somewhat
different, and they were probably written, as one of them is signed
by J. Naylor, Dora John Ambrose Naylor, O.S.B., who spent most
of his life at Biddleston Hall, 1767 till his death there in 1S21.
But he was evidently staying at Capheaton for a short time,
probably just after Fr. Holderness left. It could scarcely have
been a casual visit, for these entries, one on 20th Nov. 1773 which
is signed, and the other on 25th Feb. 1774 which is not signed,
were baptisms which took place the day after birth. The book
contains particulars of 48 baptisms, it also contains the names of
candidates at two confirmations, one on 26th May 1764 by Dr
Francis Petre, called 'Ld. Bishop Peters' in the book, when the
name of Thomas vSwinburne, Junr., appears in the list; the other
on 'June ye loth 1773,' by 'ye R. Bishop Walton' when 61 were
confirmed, and amongst them four sons and one daughter, children
of Sir Edward the 5th Bart, and Christina Dillon. It is somewhat
curious that the eldest of these, John the future 6th Bart., was only
II years of age, whilst Christina the youngest was only 5 years of
age, when confirmed.
REGISTERS OF CAPHEATON, KIRKVVHELPINGTON 230
The second Register, an ordinary copy book of i8 pages, is
inscribed, 'Baptized, Capheaton 1774,' and commences on 19th
April that year, probably by Fr. Thomas Adrian Gurnal, O.S.E.
This again is apparently all in one handwriting throughout, and
the only signature is that in a ver}^ shaky hand of 'And. Riding,'
which curiously enough is put three times to the last baptismal
entry in the book, 8th June 1784. Whether this is Fr. Ryding's
own signature is doubtful, as it is more like that of a very old
man than of one in his 32nd year, but he came here about the
time that the entry was made. This book contains particulars of
one marriage, in May 17S2, a confirmation by Dr Matthew Gibson
in 17S3, and a list of deaths commencing in 1774 and continuing
down to June 1785. It would be about the middle period covered
by these registers when the lady, who told the circumstance to
the late Dr Charlton of Newcastle, used to be posted when a girl
at the north windows of the hall, whilst Mass was being said, to
give warning of strangers. There are two priest's hiding places
in Capheaton Hall.
Dom Thomas Adrian Gurnal, O.S.B., born in London in 1742
and ordained in 1767 at I.ambspring, succeeded Fr. Holderness at
Capheaton in 1774, and he evidently started the second Register.
He was only at Capheaton a short time, as he went to Beaufront
the following year, and afterwards to Hesleyside. He retired to
Everingham, the Constables' seat in Yorkshire, in 1781, and spent
there the last 30 years of his life, dying 5th Jan. 1811.
Dom Alexander Benedict Catterall, O.S.B., succeeded him at
Capheaton. Fr. Catterall was also a Lancashire man, born in 1724
and professed at St Edmund's in 1743. He was on the mission at
Brandsby, Yorks., 1761-64, Whitehaven 1764-74, and in the latter
year came to Capheaton where he remained until 1783. He then
went as confessor to the nuns at Paris where he remained till his
death 31st July 1791. A Dominican priest with the same surname,
probably a relative, served Stouecroft, Northumberland, for many
years a few decades earlier.
The last priest at Capheaton appears to have been Dom Andrew
Bernard Ryding, O.S.E., born at Wigan in 1752, professed at St
Gregory, and ordained in 1776. This appears to have been his
first mission, and the Benedictine records place him here 1783-S7.
He then went to Warwick Bridge near Carlisle, was afterwards at
Holme Hall, Lord vStourton's place in Yorkshire, Hindley in Lanes.,
1792-97, back again to W^arwick Bridge in the latter year, and in
this pleasant locality he resided for 37 years, retiring in 1834 to
Ampleforth, where he died 26th Sept 1841.
vSir Edward vSwinburne died at Capheaton in 17S6 and he was
the last head of the family who adhered to the old faith, as his
eldest son Sir John, 6th Bart, (who died so lately as 1S60 at the
patriarchal age of 98) became M.P. for Launceston in 1788 and High
Sheriff of Northumberland in 1799, positions which could not be
held by Catholics of that period. So the death of Sir Edward
Swinburne practically coincides with the close of the Catholic
mission at Capheaton, which had been in existence during the
larger part of the i8th century, and probably earlier,_ and so far
as our records shew was, like several adjoining missions, served
wholly by members of the Benedictine Order.

THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF BIDDLESTON HALL,
ALWINTON, NORTHUMBERLAND, THE SEAT OF
THE SELBY FAMILY, 1 767-1840.
CONTRIBUTED BY JOSEPH S. HANSOM
HISTORICAL NOTES BY JAMES RAE BATERDEN
The registers are contained in two books, the first being a common
paper note book of 44 pages 7^-^x4^ inches, covered in marbled
paper. The second is 7^4^x63:4; inches of about 136 original pages,
and has been recently bound in half vellum, cloth sides. There is
no pagination, which is supplied here. Both are in sound condition.
They are now numbered Northumberland 8,1 and S,ii amongst
the non-parochial registers at Somerset House, where I was per-
mitted by the Registrar-General to transcribe them.
The certificate is posted in the first book and signed 'George J : A :
Corless, D:D:,' and also 'Catherine Clauing' [ ?Clavering] as
proprietor. Fr. Corless states on aSth Oct. 1S40 that the Register
Books of Biddlestone Hall of births, baptisms, deaths and marriages
had been kept by him since June as 'Catholic Chaplain,' 'officiating for
the time being.' He speaks of the chapel being 'founded about the
year 1200.' j_ g_ jj_
HISTORICAL NOTES ON CHAPLAINCY
As Burke in his Landed Gentry truly says, the Selbys have been
seated in Northumberland 'time out of mind.' An existing grant
from Edward I in 1272, shows that they derive from Sir Walter de
Selby who flourished in the reigns of Henry IH and Edward I ; the
lands given to this vSir Walter have continued uninterruptedly in
the famil}'- and are enjoyed by them to-day.
A Christopher Selb}^ son of Percival de Selby, one of the Com-
missioners of the Middle Marches in the 6th year of Edward VI
married Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Ogle of Causey Park,
Northumberland, a son of Ralph, Eord Ogle; their great grandson
was the Sir William Selby, High vSherifi of Northumberland who
was knighted by James I at Berwick in 1603. He married Eleanor,
a daughter of Sir Thomas Haggerston of Haggerston. The issue of
this marriage was three daughters, one of whom became a nun at
Liege, and three sons.
Charles the third son, who succeeded, married Elizabeth Gilli-
brand of Chorley, Lancashire. Their eldest son and successor
Thomas William Selby took to wife Barbara, daughter and heiress
of Christopher Percehay of Ryton, Yorks, and would be living here
about the beginning of the " iSth century when we get the first
records of the chaplaincy.
Biddleston Hall stand'ing on the southern slopes of the Cheviots,
250 REGISTERS OF BIDDLESTON HALL, ALWINTON
about 750 feet above sea level, is said to be the Osbaldestoue Hall of
Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy, and since the Reformation has been
the centre of Catholic worship in Upper Coquetdale, that out of the
way district of Northumberland.
Eiddleston even to-day, is S or 9 miles from a railway station and
a main road ; its only connection with civilization in the iSth century
Vv'as by a pack road from Rothbury passing through the hamlet of
Alwinton, which led up, and still leads up Coquetdale, and over the
Cheviots into Scotland. It must have proved a dreary residence for
many a poor priest during the winter season. It had however the
compensating advantage during penal times, of being far removed
from the persecuting courts, and on the rare occasions when their
officials did approach, the wild moors on the north and west, 200
square miles in area, afforded a safe refuge to the hunted priest until
the danger was over. It is an historic neighbourhood. At Holystone,
3 miles south, may still be seen the spring or well where St Paulinus
baptised 3000 converts in the 7th century. The old Border tower of
Clennel, held for centuries by the family of that name, lies two miles
to the west ; Alnham another old tower, now a parsonage, lies a few
miles north-east ; still further east is Eslington, once the seat of the
Collingwoods, who kept the faith, until fines, and attainders, and the
scaffold, caused the extinction of the family soon after 1715. Callaly
the seat of the Claverings for centuries, and Cartington the home in
succession of the Cartingtons, the Radcliffes, the Widdringtons and
the Talbots, are within a radius of six miles. Harbottle with its
ruined castle where in 15 15 Queen Margaret of Scotland gave birth to
the future mother of Lord Darnlej^ held in the 17th century by
Gascoignes and Widdringtons, lies two miles south-west. Of these
old Catholic families, who formed the fighting race of the Borders,
all are gone save Selby of Biddlestone, who still hold the old lands
and the old faith.
The Selb^-s had been mixed up with all Border troubles for
centuries, in the great civil war they espoused the cause of the king,
and during the Jacobite rising of 1715 they were in the thick of it
— they suft'ered on both occasions.
The family chapel was built probably about the beginning of the
iQth century when the existing mansion was erected by Thomas Selby
who died in 1S16. It stands upon the foundation of the old 'Tower of
Biddleston held by a John .Selby in 1415,' and was thoroughly
repaired in 1S79.
The first record we get of a chaplain at Biddleston is by an
inspection of the parish register at the ancient church of Alwinton,
where for centuries the Selbys were buried. Under date 6th July 1725
is recorded the burial of 'Mr Thomas Durham, alias Collingwood, p.
priest, Biddleston.'
Fr. Thomas Collingwood, junr., S.J., alias Durham, was the 4th
son of George Collingwood of Eslington, and Agnes daughter of
John Fleming of Ryedale, Westmoreland. Born in 1658 he entered
the Societj' of Jesus in 1678, and was ordained 17 March 1680. His
two younger brothers, Robert and Charles, as well as his uncle
Thomas Collingwood, were also Jesuits ; their cousin John Metcalfe
was a secular priest. Folej'' says that Fr. Collingwood was in this
Jesuit District of vSt John the Evangelist in 1701, so he was probably
at Biddleston, close to his home, early in the iSth century. He would
be here during the Derwentwater rising consequent on which his
REGISTERS OF BIDDLESTON HALL, ALWINTON 251
eldest brother George Colliugwood of Esliiigton, *a very pius gentle-
man and much beloved in his county' was executed in Liverpool in
1716. Foley gives the date of Fr. Collingwood's death, although he
does not sa}^ where, 16 July 1725.
He was probably succeeded by Fr. Robert Widdrington, S.J., who
was still here about 1736, as chaplain to William Thomas Selby. Dr
Chandler, Bishop of Durham, in his 'Parochial remarks on his
\^isitatiou,' made about this time, says '28 papists meet at Biddleston
about a mile from the church, at Mr Selby 's, Rob. Widdrington,
priest.' Fr. Widdrington was born in Northumberland in 1660,
entered the Society 7th Sep 1679, spent his whole life in the north
and was Superior of this district from 1720 to 1723. He probably
left Biddleston in 1736, died at Durham, and was buried in St
Osv.-ald's churchyard there, 17th Jan. 1742, aged 82. Foley and other
writers say that he was a brother of Henry Widdrington, S.J. , and
son of Lord Widdrington, but the latter statement does not appear
to be correct. He was moi'e likely one of the Widdringtons of
Cartington, or of the other branches of this wide spread family,
Catholic in all their lines. Foley says he appears to be identical with
Robert Watson.
Rev. Lawrence Robinson, O.S.F. of the Recollect Order, went to
Biddleston in 1736. He was then probably about 30 years of age. He
was Preses of Hexham 1737-43, afterwards lived in the south of Eng-
land, part of the time at Beckford, Gloucestershire, and died about
1760.
Alwinton church register records under 14th Feb. 1747 the burial
of 'Mr Pennivim, priest, Biddleston,' but whether he was secular or
regular we cannot trace.
His probable successor was the 'Mr Newton' whom Fole}'- places
here in 1750. This is evidently Rev. William Newton, S.J., junr.,
born in Lincolnshire 30th Oct. 1718 who entered the Society in 1736.
He was at the penitentiary of Loretto in Rome 1747-49 ^'<^^ probably
came direct from there to Biddleston, where he says he arrived after
the partial completion of the Jubilee celebration of 1750. His report
on this occasion states 'customers here between 50 and 60, salary £10
and diet.' He could only have stayed here a few years, as he died in
the Oxfordshire district i6th Oct. 1755 ^^^ ^^^ "^S^ of 37.
Dom. John Anselm Bolton, O.vS.B., the first of his Order we trace
to Biddleston was in residence in 1764. Born at Brindle, Lanes., 1735
he was professed at the Abbey of St Lawrence at Dieulward, Lorraine,
in 1753. Sent to south of England he was for some time stationed at
Leighland, Somersetshire. He was only a short time at Biddleston as
he went in 1764 as chaplain to the Hon. Anne Fairfax at Gilling
Castle, Yorks., and remained with her until her death in 1793.
Shortly before her death she built him a house at Ampleforth, close
to Crilling, to which he removed about 1793, and lived there until
about 1802. He then handed over this house to his own Community
of Dieulward, who driven out at the French Revolution, had found
shelter for some 5'ears in various houses in England. This house of
Fr. Bolton's formed the foundation of the present Benedictine Abbey
of Ampleforth, he retired to Birtley, co. Durham, in 1802, died there
22nd Dec. 1805 and was buried at Chester le Street. (Gillow,
Diet. Eng. Caths.)
Dom. Joseph Lawrence Hadley, O.vS.B., son '^f John Hadley and
Mary Clements born in I^ondon 1739 and professed at St Gregory,
252 REGISTERS OF BIDDLESTON HALL, ALWINTON
Douai, 1757, came to Biddleston as his first mission succeeding Fr.
Bolton in 1764, and remained till 1767, when he went to Brindle,
Lancashire. There he lived 35 years retiring in 1S02 to Netherton
in ill-health. He died in Liverpool 30 May 1S05.
Dcm. John Ambrose Naylor, O.S.B., succeeded in the summer of
1767, and commenced the Register the same year. This was during
the ownership of Thomas Selby (i) whose five sons by his second
wife, Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of Nicholas Tuite, were all
educated at St Gregory's Benedictine School, Douai. Born in
Lancashire, the son of Louis Naylor of Rainford and Alice Smith,
in 173S, Fr. Naylor was professed at St Gregory, Douai, in 1757.
With the exception that we find his name in the Register of
Capheaton on two occasions in 1773 and 1774, doing temporary
duty there, his whole clerical life was spent at Biddleston. He
commenced the Baptismal register, 29th July 1767, probably shortly
after his arrival, and continued it in his own handwriting down to
nth Oct. 1S20 the year before his death. He lived under three
generations of Selbys, and five successive owners, under the rule of
six Vicars Apostolic and their coadjutors, died loth Nov. 1S21 and
was buried in Alwinton churchyard. He was Provincial of the
Province from 1799 i:ntil his death.
The last few years of Fr. Naylor's life were fatal ones for the Selby
family. Thomas vSelby (2) who had married Catherine, the daughter
and co-heiress of Ralph Hodgson of Lintz, co. Durham, died in May
1S16, his eldest son Thomas died unmarried in June iSiS, Edward
the next in succession died abroad a few months afterwards, and the
property passed to the fourth son Walter Selby (i), then in his 3i3t
3^ear. He had married in 1S17, Alicia, daughter of Dr John Swar-
breck.
During 1S21, the last year of Fr. Naylor's life, temporary duty
was done by Fr. Thomas Gillow from Callaly Castle who had been
chaplain there 25 years. He left this same year to take charge of
the new mission at North Shields, where he resided until his death
19th March 1S57, aged 87. (See Registers of Callaly Castle, C.R.S.,
Vol. 7.)
Dom. James Higginson, O.S.B., of Swinburne Castle, baptised a
daughter of Walter Selby the squire in Aug. 1S21. Born at Wright-
lington, Lancashire, in 1764 and professed at St Gregory, Douai, in
17S5, he had been chaplain to the Benedictine nuns of Cambrai, v,-as
imprisoned with them during the French Revolution, brought the
community to England in May 1795 and shortly afterwards came as
chaplain to Thomas Horsley Widdrington Riddell, at Swinburne
Castle. He remained there until 182S, thence went to the old estab-
lished Benedictine mission of Birtlej% co. Durham. Whilst saying
mass here on 13th Dec. 1835 '^^ ^^'as taken suddenly ill and died in
half an hour clad in his sacramental vestments.
Fr. Naylor's successor was Dom. IMatthew Charles Fairclough,
O.S.B., born at Wigan 1788, professed at St Lawrence, Ample-
forth, in 1813 and ordained there in 1820. He evidently came here
direct from college, soon after Fr. Naylor's death, but only staj-ed
a short time and only makes one entry in the register, in Feb. 1822.
He was afterwards at Bungay, Suffolk, 1826-7, the following year he
went to the monastery of St Gery, Arras, in France, where he
remained 50 3^ears. Retired to St Edmund in 1878, and died at
Douai 4th April 1880, aged 92.
REGISTERS OF BIDDLESTON HALL, ALWINTON 25S
After Fr. Fairclough left there was no resident chaplain for about
12 months. Temporary duty was done again in 1S22-23 by Dom.
James Higginson, O.S.B., who baptised Walter Selby (2) the heir,
son of Walter Selby and Alicia Swarbreck, on 6th Nov. 1822. Also
by Fr. Thomas Stout who at this time was in charge of the old
mission of Thropton, Northumberland. A Northumbrian, educated
at Douai, Fr. Stout left France in 1793-4 and was for a time at St
George's Fields Chapel, Southwark, London. He went to Callaly
Castle about Nov. 1796, remained there till the following September
when he removed to Thropton. He lived there 30 years, died 26th
July 1S2S at the age of 62 and was buried in front of the altar rails
of his chapel. (See Registers of Callaly Castle, C.R.S., Vol. 7.)
Rev. James Albot, a young priest from Ushaw, came in the latter
part of 1S23, remained until June 1S2S when he went to Thropton,
where he died 28th Jan. 1S37.
Rev. Thomas Middlehurst succeeded in the summer of 1S28 and
remained until vSeptember 1S30. A native of Lancashire, born nth
Sep. 1S02, he was educated and ordained at the English College,
Lisbon. After leaving Biddleston he went to West Witton, Bedale.
He was stationed at Malton about 1S50 and died there 12th July
iSSo. (See Registers of Danby, West Witton and Leyburn, C.R.S.,
Vol. 13.)
After Fr. Middlehurst left there was again no resident priest, and
the duties were attended to by Fr. James Albot of Thropton from
March 1S31 to Jan. 1S32.
After this there is a complete blank in the register until July 1836.
The reason probably was that Walter Selby (i) dying in 1833, and
his wife being already dead, the new owner was at this time only ix
years of age, and probably living with his aunt Mrs Clavering at
Callal}', or at school. He afterwards became J. P. and D.L. and
married Laura Anne, daughter of Henry Tempest of Broughton Hall,
Yorks., died Sep. 1S68 and was buried in the family vault in Alwin-
ton Church. Henrietta, Abbess of Hammersmith and Teignmouth,
was one of his aunts.
Rev. John Henry Fisher was chaplain during the summer of 1S36.
Born in Manchester 12th Sep. 1812, the 4th son of John Fisher, a
merchant of that city, he was ordained at Ushaw 2Sth May 1S36
and shortly after came to Biddleston. After a few months' stay he
went to his native district where he spent the remainder of his life.
He served St Mary's, Liverpool, 1837-8 ; Duckenfield, Cheshire,
1S39-40; Birkenhead, 1S40-41. He was President of St Edward's
College, Liverpool, from Jan. 1842 until 30th June 1884, one of the
first Canons of Liverpool in 1851, V.G. from 1868, he became 3rd
Provost of Liverpool in 1S79. He died at Southport, Monsignore and
D.D., 3rd May 1889.
Rev. Joseph T. Howard, another young Ushaw priest, was chaplain
from Sep. 1836 to August 1838, when he went to Callaly Castle and
remained there until the end of 1839. He then left in ill health and
died 7th June 1840.
Henr}- Sutton signs from Nov. 1839 to the end of register. This
was Dom. Henry Ignatius Sutton, O.S.B., bom at Liverpool 12th
Oct. iSt2, educated at Ampleforth and ordained priest there 20th
May 1837. He was at Birtle}-, co. Durham, for a short time, 1838-39,
before coming to Biddleston. Left here for Lawkland, Yorks., before
Oct. 1840 and was there 1S40-41. He spent n:ost of his missionary
254 REGISTERS OF BIDDLESTON HALL, ALWINTON 17G7
life in the south of England and South Wales, was at Cheltenham
1S76-S4, and from thence retired to Ampleforth, where he died 28th
Aug. 18S6. He was once shot at by a fanatic whilst saying mass,
but fortunately missed.
The succeeding priests were as follows :
Rev. George J. A. Corless, D.D., attended from Thropton for a
time in 1840.
Rev. Thomas Hoggett, 1S41 till death 29th June 1886.
Rev. Henry Cartmell, 1887-89.
Rev. AVilliam Drysdale, 1890-93, died at Scorton, Yorks., 27th Sep.
1912.
Rev. Robert Henry Kerr, 1894-1907.
Rev. Henry Walmesley, 190S-1909.
Rev. Joseph Fitzsimmons, 1910 to present time.
Pinned into the Biddleston register is a certificate of baptism
dated London 7th Sep. 1787 of Thomas Selby, eldest sou of Thomas
Selby (2) and Catherine, daughter and co-heiress of Ralph Hodgson
of Lintz, CO. Durham, born 3rd Jan. 1780, signed 'Thomas Meynell
Sac' This refers to the baptism at Causey Park, Northumberland,
on 3 Jan. 17S0 by Thomas Mejmell, S.J. He w^as the 2nd son of
Richard Meynell of North Kilvington, Yorkshire, and Barbara Anne
eldest daughter of Thomas William Selby of Biddleston, great-
great-aunt of the child whom he baptized. Born 29 Sep. 1737, he
entered the vSociety S.J. in 1756. He was chaplain to the Stapletons
of Carlton, Yorks., 1768-73, afterwards resided with Fr. William
Strickland, vS.J., in London, where he died suddenly whilst in con-
versation with his friend Dr Nichols, i Feb. 1804. It is probable
that the certificate was got at this time (1787) for legacy purposes
as Thomas vSelby, grandfather of this child, and then owner of the
estates, died 31 May 17S7.

THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF PYLEWELL HOUSE,
LYMINGTON, HAMPSHIRE, 1805-40, AND ROOK CLIFF,
MILFORD-ON-SEA, HAMPSHIRE, 1813-15-
CONTRIBUTED BY JOSEPH S. HANSOM.
HISTORICAL NOTES BY JOSEPH GILLOW.
These registers are at Somerset House, where the certificate
states they were sent by the Rev. William Waterton, S.J., on 13th
of October 1840, who describes them as of Pilewell House (in the
parish of Lymington), the mission being founded about the year
1800. He makes no reference to Rook Cliffe House which is the
adjoining parish of Milford. They are contained in two books in
the non-parochial registers, and numbered 27, i and ii of the
Hampshire series. The first book relating to Pilewell House
consists of twelve sheets of paper, or 48 pages 9}ix-j}i inches in a
marbled cover. The second consists of three sheets of paper or 12
pages "jjii bj' 4\< inches.* It contains four baptisms and one death
relating to Rook Clifie, with five certificates from registers relating
to Lymington, at St Aloysius's Church, Somers Town, London,
where the originals seem to have been transfered by one of the
French clergy, the Abbe Fautrel.
They have been described as commencing in 1S03 ; but this is a
mistake, that year being inserted in a blank form only. This is
pointed out at the beginning of the registers. J. vS. H.
HISTORICAL NOTES
The mission appears to have originated on or before 1800 through
a French emigre priest coming to attend to the spiritual wants of
his countrj^men taken prisoners during the wars and interned in
Lymington, as well as to his compatriots who had sought refuge
in the old seaport town at the time of the Revolution. A chapel
was then opened at Pylewell House, in proximity to the town.
Pylewell House was a minor residence of Thomas Weld, Esq., of
Lulworth Castle, Dorset, and after his death in 1810 was occupied
by his widow, Mary eldest daughter of Sir John Stanley-Massey,
6th bart., of Hooton Hall, Cheshire; and there she died ist August
1830. Their third son, Joseph, married in 1802 to the Hon. Elizabeth
Charlotte Stourton, fourth daughter of Charles Philip, i6th Lord
Stourton, and occupied Pylewell House until 1828, when his eldest
brother, Thomas Cardinal Weld, handed over the Lulworth estates
to him. Their third son Joseph {William Joseph in the registers),
who had resided with his father, married in 1848 Flora Macdonnell,
fourth daughter of Sir Joseph Pickford Radcliffe, of Rudding Pall,
CO. York, 2nd bart., eventually on the death of his father removed
* When I went to collate the proofs with the originals I found both books bound
in one, with green cloth sides, half calf.
I9i
29G REGISTERS OF PYLEWELL HOUSE, LYMINGTON
to The Lodge, Lj-mington, and died there in 1SS9 aged 74. After
Pylewell was given nn and finally sold, the chapel was removed
to The Lodge till an independent one was built by him in the town
of Lymington, from the designs of the brothers Joseph A. and
Charles F. Hansom, architects, and opened in 1859.
George, eighth son of Mr Thomas Weld, senior (above), born in
17S5, and married in 1S12 Maria daughter of Jolin Searle, Esq., of
London, had succeeded in iSio his father in the Legram estates iu
Lancashire, part of those inherited by alliance of the family with
the Shireburns of Stonyhurst. On his marriage he went to reside
at Rook Cliff or Rookcliff, Milford-on-the-Sea, about three miles
from Lymington, then a seat of the Rivett-Carnac family, and now
of Mrs Robinson, sister of Monsignor Kenuard. His two eldest
sons were born and baptized in the domestic chapel. The last of
four baptisms was on 2 March 1S15, and the tenancy probably
expired shortly after. Burke gives the marriage of Mr James
Rivett-Carnac, later created a baronet, on 3 June 1S15. Mr George
Weld probabl}' went abroad, as he had a son (a second George,
the first having died in 181S} born at Liege in 1S19, and he did not
reside at Leagram till 1S22.
Two French priests appear in the Rook Clifi registers, both seem-
ing to supply from Lymington : —
Francois Marian [ ?] le Tailleur, 8 Feb. 1S13 till 20 May 1814.
Jean-Baptiste Fran9ois Fautrel on 2 March 1S15.
The record of the priests at Lymington is as follows : —
L'Abbe J. Blot, a French emigre, who appears from 1S00-5.
Fr. John Alloway, S.J., born 3rd xVpril 1743, third son of William
and Catherine Alloway, of Henley, co. Oxon, was educated at the
English colleges at St Omer and Bruges, whence he proceeded to
that at Rome, were he entered 28th January 1755, and w^as placed
by Fr Henry vSheldon, the rector, on one of the free funds which
did not require the alumnus to take that part of the oath of
Alexander VII which prohibited him from entering any religious
order. He remained till 9th October 1766, when, having received
minor orders, he was admitted into the novitiate of the Jesuits at
Monte Cavalla, and left Rome for Flanders i8th September 1769.
Two 5'ears later he became confessor to the English Teresian nuns
at Antwerp, and subsequently became chaplain to Sir William
Stanley', 5th Bart., at Hooton Hall, where he resided till he came
to P^dewell about 1S05. Here he remained till he was transferred
to Portico, near Prescot, co. Lancaster, in 1S07, and there he died
15th March 1S08, aged 65, and was buried in the old Catholic
cemetery at Windleshaw, near St Helen's. {Kirk Biog. CoUns, M.S.,
Foley Records, S.J., vi and vii.) He was .succeeded at Lymington
by
Rev. Thomas Tilbury, born 17th October 1780, son of Charles and
Lydia Tilbury, of Midhurst, co. Sussex (C.R.S., i, 252), who entered
Ston^'hurst College in March 1795, was ordained priest bj^ Bishop
W^illiam Gibson at Durham 2Sth JNIay 1S06, and became chaplain to
Mr Joseph Weld at P^dewell on 29th October 1S07. Upon the death
of Fr. Thomas Lewis alias Culcheth, S.J., at Chideock 5th Septem-
ber i8oq, Mr Weld requested ^Ir Tilbury as a favour to transfer his
services to that larger field for exertion, and hence he left on 14th
No\-eniber 1S09 for Chideock, and there remained for thirty-one
REGISTERS OF PYLEWELL HOUSE, I.YMINGTON 297
years, till he removed on 20th November 1S40 to Weymouth. He
was made a canon of the chapter of Plymonth bth December 1S53,
and continued at Weymouth till his death 9th June 1S56, aged 75
{Oliver, Collns, p. 421). Upon his departure from Pylewell in 1S09
the mission was served by a French emigre, who seems to have been
settled in Lymington for some years previously.
L'Abbe Francois Marie Le Tellier de Brotonne, formerly vicaire de
Saint-Paul, diocese de Paris, whom de Plasse {Lc Clerge Frangais
Rejugii en Angleterre, ii. 420) says was in London in 1794. His
entries in the registers are between June 1806 and May 1814. After
this he would seem to have been followed by — —
L'Abbe Jean Baptist Francois Fautrel, formerly of the diocese
d'Avranches, who according to de Plasse {Ibid 411) was at Win-
chester in 1795. His name appears in the registers in October
1S14 and March 1815, and upon leaving Lymington he took with
him some of the registers to vSt Alo3\sius', Somers Town, London,
whence its founder I'Abbe Carron had just returned to France, and
was succeeded by I'Abbe Jean Nerinckx, who signs a certificate of
extract from the Lymington registers. INIeanwhile the Welds
obtained a resident chaplain at Pylewell House in succession to Mr
Tilbury in the person of
Rev. John Brown, a priest educated at the English College at
Rome and at vSt Edmund's College, Old Hall, whose entries in the
register range between 21st January 1S12 and nth JMay 1S24, when
he appears to have transferred his services to Jersey, where he died
23rd November 1833. He was succeeded at Pylewell by
Fr. John Leadbetter, wS.J., born 7th September 1795, at Wigan, co.
Lancaster, who studied at Stonyhurst, entered the vSociety at
Hodder, 7th September 1814, made his theology at Rome and
Modena, and was ordained priest at Reggio in June 1S23. He served
Pylewell for nearly two years, till October 1S26, when he was trans-
ferred to Norwich, where he erected a chapel and opened it on Sth
September 1829. He was missioner at Stonyhurst in 1S32, and was
appointed to the mission of Clayton-le-Moors, co. Lancaster, derived
from the chaplaincy at Clayton Hall, the ancient seat of the
Andertons, in December 1833, and there remained till the mission
was taken over by the Bishop of Salford in December 1873. Fr
Leadbetter then retired to vStonyhurst, where he died 20th May 1S76
aged 81. He was succeeded at Pylewell by
Fr. William Waterton, vS.J., who according to his own statement
came as chaplain on 28th October 1826. He was the fourth son of
Thomas Waterton, of Walton Hall, co. York, Esq., by Anne,
daughter and eventiially sole heiress of Edward Bedingfeld, of
Oxtou, and was born qth December 1794. He studied at Stony-
hurst, entered the vSociety at Hodder in 1815, and made his theology
at Clongowes College, Ireland, where he was ordained priest by
Archbishop Murray in December 1823. He first served Pontefract,
CO. York, came to Pylewell in 1826, and stayed till vSeptember 1S41
when he went to Tunbridge Wells, but in the same 3^ear was
appointed prefect of the secular philosophers at Stonyhurst. In
November 1S45 ^e went to Wardour Castle, co. Wilts, and remained
there till 28th INIay 1848. Thence he went to Croft, co. Lancaster,
till 1S49, and subsequently was at Bedford Leigh for a time, after
which he retired to Stonyhurst, where he died iSth January 1852,
aged 58. (Oliver, Collns., p. 433, Foley Records, S.J., vii.) During
298 REGISTERS OF PYLEWELL HOUSE, LYMINGTON
the latter part of his time at Pylewell the Rev. Joseph Stapleton
resided in Lymington till his death, 27th August 1S39, aged 55. He
was the second son of John vStapleton, Esq., M.D., third son of
Nicholas Stapleton, of Carlton Hall, co. York, Esq., by his third
wife Winifred, daughter of John White, Esq., and was sent in
1797 to Sedgley Park, whence in July 1S02 he went to Old Hall,
where he was ordained priest 23rd September 1S09, and was retained
in the college as a professor till November 1S16, when he went tu
Burton Green, Hants, till 1S37, after which he retired to Lymington
till his death. Fr. Waterton was succeeded at Pylewell by
Fr. James Clough, S.J., born near Liverpool nth January 1S03,
who studied at Stonyhurst, entered the Society at Hodder in 1827,
and thence was ordained priest at Oscott, 4th April 1835, and was
sent to Yarmouth, co. Norfolk. Thence he came to Pylewell on 30th
vSeptember 1S41, and staj^ed till 1S44, when he was recalled to Stony-
hurst. In the following j^ear he went to Croft, but in 1847 succeeded
his brother Francis at Lydiate till 1848, when his delicate health,
for he was consumptive, necessitated short visits to Hereford, Pyle-
well, and Wardour, where he died 3rd November 1848, aged 45. His
successor at Pylewell was
Fr. Francis Daniel, S.J., born near London 8th February 179S,
educated at Stonyhurst, and having been ordained priest at the
Roman College returned to England in vSeptember 1824, and taught
in the school opened by the Society in London till August 1825
when he went to Lincoln till January 1830. He then supplied at
vSoberton, Hants, and served Courtfield, co. Hereford, the seat of the
Vaughans, from 1S31-4, when he went to Stonyhurst, of which he
became rector 27th JMay 1839, subsequently served at St Ignatius',
Preston, and came to Pylewell in 1841, but left in 1846 for Liverpool
to be socius to the provincial, and in the same year went to Holy-
well, Flint, where he stayed till April 1S49. He then rejoined the
provincial as sochis, and 6th January 1851 returned as superior to St
Ignatius', Preston, till 1855, when "he became rector of the College
of the Holy Apostles and served Great Yarmouth. In 1865 he was
appointed rector of the College of St Michael, and was chaplain at
Broughton Hall, co. York, the seat of Sir Charles Robert Tempest,
Bart., and there died 6th December 1S69 aged 71. Meanwhile Pyle-
well House was vacated or sold by the Welds and a temporary chapel
was established at East End, Pjdewell, and Fr Daniel's successor
was
Fr. William O'Brien, S.J., of the Irish Province, born in Dublin
15th August 1795, who entered the vSociety at Hodder in 1814, and
was at Clongowes from 1S16 to 1843, when he came to England and
was placed at East End, Pylewell, in 1845 till his death ist October
1851, aged s*^. His successors in the mission were
Fr. Thomas Williams, S.J., who established himself at Elm
Cottage, Lymington, till 1852, his chapel being dedicated to Our
Blessed Lady.
Fr. John Rigby, S.J., at Elm Cottage, 1852-3.
Fr. Ralph Cooper, vS.J., 1853-4.

THE CATHOLIC REGISTER OF THE REV. MONOX
HERVEY alias JOHN RIVETT alias JOHN MOXON
Oxfordshire 1729-30, London 1730-34, Yorkshire 1734-47,
Montgomeryshire 1747-52, and London 1753-56.
CONTRIBUTED BY JOSEPH STANISLAUS HANSOM
The registers can hardly be described as a book, or they make a very
curious one. They consist of a bundle of paper sheets 13x8^^ inches,
folded to ^Ysy-Sy^, inches. Instead of being made up in sections,
the sheets are placed continuously one within the other, so that the
inner ones protrude about an inch beyond the outer ones. The only
way to bind them uniformly, and keep the proper sequence, would
be to cut the sheets in two, and mount the parts on guards. There
might be difficulties in this, as parts of writing might be covered.
They had perhaps best be preserved as a sample of domestic book-
binding, for to add to the grotesque appearance they have been sewn
into an old brown leather cover, much too small, the sides being
only 7,^/2X5 '4 inches, forming a poor protection to the paper which
is dirty and frayed in consequence. Good substantial paper has been
used, and each page is lined in red ink for dates, three columns of
figures and head lines. Particulars of missing pages are given
below, but these do not form gaps in the registers.
They are preserved in the archiepiscopal archives of Westminster,
and I have been accorded permission to copy them at Archbishop's
House, for which I have to thank his Eminence the Cardinal Arch-
bishop and the archivist Monsignor Jackman.
The langiiage used frequently proclaims the fact that the registers
must have been written, as we see them, at a comparatively late
period in Hervey's life. Although he gives numbers to his func-
tions, in places he skips them, and puts down at the end a number
as though dissatisfied with the total, and — perhaps his own memory.
It would indeed have been difiicult for him at times to have kept
such registers. Nay more : it would have been dangerous to keep
such palpable evidence of his priesthood. Especially the long im-
prisonment he underwent in York Castle militates against the
possibility, or at least probability, of his being able to preserve even
notes. Differences in the spelling of personal and place names may
not go for much, with three provincial pronunciations and that of
Londoners. The name of his 'Proditor' Ralph Pierceson, appears
elsewhere as Pearson ; but the latter could not write his own name,
as will appear elsewhere. When we come to the question of dates,
some seem improbable when tested by other evidence, and we may
wonder how it could be otherwise, and how he could preserve so
many in his mind with any approach to certainty.
It is intended to produce a number of documents and some informa-
314 REV. MONOX HERVEy'S REGISTERS, 1729-56
tion about Hervey and others in another paper. So we will now
proceed with other particulars.
The date of INIonox Hervey 's birth is approximately shewn by
the following certificate courteously supplied to me by the Rev.
Forbes Phillips, Vicar of Gorleston, near Great Yarmouth, Suffolk,
for which our thanks are rendered.

I Forbes Phillips, Vicar of Gorleston, do certify the above

Parish Church. Given under my hand this twenty seventh day of
February 191 3. (Signed) Forbes Phillips'
His mother was Margaret, daughter of Monox Rivett.
The interest in our work evinced by our Vice-President, Mr Burke,
Norroy King of Arms, may enable us to print his pedigree on the
distaff side, by which it appears that his maternal grandfather and
one uncle bore the baptismal name of 'Monox.' He always writes it
so, and out of twenty-three of his god-sons, he names fourteen
Monox, several of them when he was passing under the alias of John
Rivett. Mr Richard Thackeray Bedingfeld (who supplied so much
interesting matter regarding his family to Volume vii.) has kindly
supplemented this by a pedigree of the Herveys of Suffolk. The
name has generally been given before as 'Harvey,' but this was
before these registers, and other evidence now produced made it clear
bej'ond all cavil. He abbreviates it as 'Her' and 'He.' The name
is generally accounted as Norman in origin, and as Herve pro-
nounced easily in French, as our 'hare,' but like many other names
in English pronounced Harvey, like 'hardy,' or else awfully as
'Hurvey' or 'hurdy.' So we have Barnard, Farmer, dark; or else
Burnurd, Furmur, clurk ; never Bernard, Fermor, clerk.
About 1713 he was converted to the Catholic Faith, and confirmed
at London by Bishop Bonaventure Giffard, Vicar Apostolic of the
London District.* Subsequently he is stated to have been at the
English College, Lisbon. f He was admitted to the English College,
Rome, 23 March 1724, aged 25, and ordained with Robert Constable,
subdeacon and deacon in August and September, and priest 18 Sept.
172S by Pope Gregory XIIT.J He left for England with Nicholas
Masson, vere Apthorpe, 6 April 1729. § In the College Diary he is
called John Moxon "oere Harvey. || Following Hervey 's autobio-
graphical notes, we find he entered on his missionary work in England
12 June 1729, no place being named. He went to Bishop John Talbot
Stonor, Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District, at Old Heythrop,
Oxon, where he remained a whole year, presumably serving some
distant chapel ever>' fifth week at his own expense, if this is the

His mother was Margaret, daughter of Monox Rivett.
The interest in our work evinced by our Vice-President, Mr Burke,
Norroy King of Arms, may enable us to print his pedigree on the
distaff side, by which it appears that his maternal grandfather and
one uncle bore the baptismal name of 'Monox.' He always writes it
so, and out of twenty-three of his god-sons, he names fourteen
Monox, several of them when he was passing under the alias of John
Rivett. Mr Richard Thackeray Bedingfeld (who supplied so much
interesting matter regarding his family to Volume vii.) has kindly
supplemented this by a pedigree of the Herveys of Suffolk. The
name has generally been given before as 'Harvey,' but this was
before these registers, and other evidence now produced made it clear
beyond all cavil. He abbreviates it as 'Her' and 'He.' The name
is generally accounted as Norman in origin, and as Herve pro-
nounced easily in French, as our 'hare,' but like many other names
in English pronounced Harvey, like 'hardy,' or else awfully as
'Hurvey' or 'hurdy.' So we have Barnard, Farmer, dark; or else
Burnur'd, Furmur, clurk ; never Bernard, Fermor, clerk.
About 1713 he was converted to the Catholic Faith, and confirmed
at London by Bishop Bonaventure Giffard, Vicar Apostolic of the
London District.* Subsequently he is stated to have been at the
English College, Lisbon. f He was admitted to the English College,
Rome, 23 March 1724, aged 25, and ordained with Robert Constable,
subdeacon and deacon in August and September, and priest 18 Sept.
172S by Pope Gregory XIILj He left for England with Nicholas
Masson, vere Apthorpe, 6 April 1729. § In the College Diary he is
called John Moxon vere Harvey. || Following Hervey's autobio-
graphical notes, we find he entered on his missionary work in England
12 June 1729, no place being named. He went to Bishop John Talbot
Stonor, Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District, at Old Heythrop,
Oxon, where he remained a whole year, presumably serving some
distant chapel every fifth week at his own expense, if this is the

meaning of 'gratis.' On the jtli July 1732 he went to London to
supply for the Rev. Gerard Saltmarshe, chaplain to Ladj' Thomas
Howard in Red Lion Square, Holborn, until 29 Sept. 1732. He says
nothing about any special work after this, when he continued living
in Red Lion vStreet, but an anonymous writer* credits him with
starting a school there in 1733, and conducting it with considerable
success. It will be noticed that his London baptismal registers prac-
tically stop on 13 Feb. 1733, which lends colour to the statement.
If this is correct, it would be likely to attract the attention of the
authorities, and he certainly moved nearly 250 miles to Ugthorpe,
in the parish of I<3"the, Cleveland, near Whitby, on 25 May 1734.
Before proceeding with that part attention ma}^ be called to special
notices, in the Reconciliations, of houses where Hervey may have
said Mass, seemingly in rooms of some size, as the functions are
described as held before the Congregation. Such are, — twice at Mr
Gender's, at the Fleece and Dove in Drury Lane, 27 Dec. 1730, and
7 Feb. 1731- Twice at Mr Wynell's, the Muzzled Bear in Little Wyld
Street, 2S Feb. and 4 April 1731. Twice at ]\Ir Walker's, Great
Queen Street, 20 April and 2 May 1731.! There is then more con-
tinuity,— ]\Ir Blake's in Drury Lane being mentioned eight times
from 17 June to 12 Sept. 1731, and, after two at his own lodgings in
Red Lion Street, twice more at J\Ir Blake's, 13 Feb. and i jMay 1732.
From 19 March 1732 until i April 1733 only 'my lodgings in Red
Lion Street' are mentioned. On 8 April 1733 'Mr Blake's, Drurj,''
Lane,' is mentioned for the last time. On 17 and 21 April he officiates
at Mr Richard Blevin's, at Kentish Town, seemingl}^ reconciling
tvv'o members of the same family in their private house, where he
had baptized the Rev. James Blevin on the previous 6 Jan.
In Yorkshire he assumed the maternal alias of John Rivett, and
seems to have preserved the secret of his proper name during ii',
years on the mission there, and il-i as a prisoner in York Castle.
He started a school at Ugthorpe, about the end of 1737, as he acknow-
ledged at the end of 1745 when he had ten boys under his charge.
1 hey are stated to be gentlemen's sons, and one of them was a
Clavering of Callaly, Northumberland. He would probably have
continued his ministrations and school there, had it not been for
the Stuart rising in 1745. The Duke of Newcastle ordered the
detention of a number of priests in the north and midlands. He
was arrested 11 Dec. 1746, and conveyed to York Castle, on the
unfounded suspicion that he might be favouring the Young Pre-
tender's cause. When arrested a payment for young Clavering's
schooling and some bill transactions were found and construed into
money being raised for that cause. Not only Hervey, but every-
body having been party to the passage of the money, was suspected !
The ostensible cause for his and other arrests was the priesthood,
which was punishable by imprisonment for life. But he and the
others acknowledged their priesthood and were liable to the penalty
as Confessors. They could not have been acquitted of what they
confessed. But they were acquitted; and this must have been on a
treason charge, although he was still detained until 2 June 1747, and
then only discharged under bail to leave Yorkshire. The registers
if- The Present State of Po-pery in England, etc., 1735.
t He married a couple at the same house, 24 Aug. 1731, James Wynell
being a witness.
S16 REV. MONOX HERVEY's REGISTERS, 1729-56
give no further account to make us imagine that lie returned to
Ugthorpe. Shortly before his arrest at Ugthorpe he had been at
Scarborough, and reconciled a few to the Faith, including members
of the Readhead family. On his release he repairs there again, and
completes his task. And then — 'Adieu to Bonny Yorkshire.'
On zg July 1747 he went to Buttington Hall, Montgomeryshire,
resuming his real name of Monox Hervey. We find his ministra-
tions extending to Powis Castle and Welshpool, but no evidence
of his keeping a school, or to whom he may have been chaplain.*
He left there 24 Aug. 1752, and for nearly a year after he gives
no account of himself. The next date is 7 Aug. 1753, when he li\-ed
in Oxford Road, London, his functions being with people in various
parts of the Metropolis, both north and south of the Thames.
He notes that his entries were also made in the registers at Count
Haslang's or the Bavarian embassy chapel in Warwick Street from
10 Aug. 1753 to 15 Feb. 1754; one at the Spanish embassy chapel,
which seems to have been in Oxford Road [now Street), on 31 March
1754 ; at the French chapel, probabty that of the embassy, in Grosvenor
Square, 29 April 1754 to 26 June 1755 ; again at Warwick Street on
19 Aug. and 8 Sept. 1755 ; sixteen at the Neapolitan (embass}-) chapel
28 Oct. 1755 to 30 April 1756 ; at the Spanish chapel, 28 Aug. and
12 vSept. 1756. There is one undated and unplaced after 16 Oct. 1756,
which may be premonitory of his death about two months later.
He was only fifty-seven years of age when he died. The Rev. John
Shepherd recorded his death in the Obituary of secular priests
(C.R.S., xii., 9) 'Mr Monox Havey [sic] died in London ye 22 of
]December 1756.'
He is credited with being a zealous and successful preacher. We
know him as a teacher of youth. His registers, perhaps incomplete,
are before us as witness of his missionary work. We know him
as a Confessor, enduring a long captivity, and scorning to abjure
the Faith, or accept the liberty and worldly emoluments which would
have been the usual reward of an apostate priest, especially when
endued with talents, as Harvey must have been. He preferred to
render back those talents to his Master, and not come empty-handed.
RETROSPECT OF UGTHORPE
King John gave Isabella, daughter of Robert de Turnham, in
marriage to Peter de Mauley (de Malo Lacu), the murderer of Prince
Arthur, together with Mulgrave Castle and extensive estates. Six
of seven descendants in line, all called Peter, enjoyed the estates.
The male line failing in 1415, one aunt of the last Peter, fourth Lord de
Mauley, carried the Lythe part, including Mulgrave Castle, to the Bigod
family, the lordship of Egton and property elsewhere going with another
aunt to the vSalvins or Salvains (Silvanus) . From the Bigodsf the estates
passed by marriage to the Radcliffes.^: Sir Roger Radcliffe of Mul-
* Fr. Henry Norbert Birt, O.S.B., gives the name of a Benedictine
serving Buttington Hall as late as 1792. (Obit-Book of the English Benedic-
iines, 1913) Catherine Palmer, who died in 1730, held dower from the manor in

REV. MONOX HERVEY's REGISTERS, 1729-56 317
grave Castle, jure iixoris Doroth}- Bigod, in 15S4 granted the manor
of Ugthorpe to Katlierine their only daughter. Her brother Francis
was heir to Mulgrave Castle, with Lj'the, Hutton-Mulgrave, Ugthorpe,
Mickleby, Barrowby, Barnby, Newton-Mulgrave, EUerby, etc., which
had passed about 1625 to Edmund Shefl&eld, Lord Sheffield of Butter-
wick, CO. Lincoln, Lord President of the North 1602-19, who was
advanced to the Earldom of Mulgrave 7 Feb. 1626. The Radcliffes
had been ruined by the merciless fines for recusancy.
Katherine Radcliffe's name constantly appears in lists of recusants
down to 1614 (iV. Riding Records, ii., 65), when five other recusants
are named as 'sojourners' with her at Ugthorpe, and also four
'servants' recusants.* Her will was proved 31 July 1615 (Yorks.
Arch. Rec, xxviii.j. B5- it she left the manor of Ugthorpe to her
half-brother William, eldest son of Sir Roger Radcliffe by his second
wife, .Alargaret daughter of John Ryther of Ryther, co. York. He
and other members of the family appear as recusants ; but he con-
formed once, perhaps temporarily as he appears retaining recusants
later.
Afterwards the most important families were the allied ones of
Salvin of Xewbiggin in Egton, and Fairfax of Dunsley in "Whitby
parish, scions of the Gilling and Walton family, who are omitted
in all pedigrees that have come to my notice. Henr3- and Ralph
sons of George Fairfax appear regularly as recusants ; but that family
seems to have died out during the Commonwealth. At the Visita-
tion on 22 March 1665 (Dugdale's, Surtees Soc, xxxvi., 230) descend-
ants of Cuthbert Fairfax of Acaster-Malbys, a younger brother of
George, are found to be of Dunsley.
The Smiths of Egton Bridge, a family still extant, but whose
property is now alienated, were comfortably off ; and also the Hodg-
sons and Piersons of Ugthorpe ; but hardly able to maintain a chap-
lain ; although at an early period the first seem to have been great
harbourers of priests. Amongst those owning land in 1717 there were
also Gabriel Dale t of Ugthorpe, Christopher Simpson of Huntehouse
in Goathland, AA^illiam vStangoe (not Stanger) of Ugthorpe and a few
like Henry Harrison of Danby further afield. There were however a
certain number of Catholic yoemen and tradesmen in the neighbour-
hood, who would take their share in the maintenance of priests mostly
emploj^ed about Egton and Ugthorpe, one or two at a time.
The places disclosed by Hervey's registers stretch half way to
Stokeslej?- on the west, to Scarborough on the south-east, and indefinite
miles inland to the south-west amongst the moors and dales. The
same extent of mission work, centred about Ugthorpe and Egton,
would seem to have existed long before his time, and also long after.
Outside that area were Catholic families of position who maintained
chaplains, as the Mayes at Yarm, the Eures and later the Piersons
of Stokesley, Nunthorpe, Faceby and Forcett, the Crathornes of
Crathorne, the Tunstalls of Lower Silton, near which the Franciscans
* The annual legal exactions for herself and retainers would be £1^30.
Many of the same names appear in Peacock's list in 1604. There would also
be exactions of £260 against each of the nine recusant retainers.
t Robert Dayles [sic'] had two thirds of his estate in Ugthorpe sequestered
from 1644 to 1654 when he died. His sons Gabriel, Ralph and John sold
it to Joseph Dayles and the sequestration was removed. [Yorks. Arch. Rec,
XX., 205.)
318 REV. MONOX HERVEY's REGISTERS, 1729-56
for some time maintained a monastery at Osmotherley, the Greens
of Lanmoutli, the Meynells of North Kilvington, the vSaltmarshes of
South Kilvington, the Fairfaxes of Gilling Castle, etc. The chap-
lains would have a fixed residence ; but their ministrations would
be able to narrow the field of the East Cleveland missioners. With
the exception of Stokesley, all were outside of a circumference of
twenty five miles struck from Whitby.*
It must have been a strenuous and well-sustained combination
between priests and people that has handed down the Faith, without
interruption, from generation to generation, to the present time.
The stern resolution which enabled them to do this, may enable the
Catholic people of Egton especially to look with some complacency
on the bitter words of Hervey about their forefathers. The Stuart
rising of 1745 must have raised a state of terror, and it is exceedingly
doubtful whether the Egton Catholics could have protected him and
his fellow priest. Although a large part of the English troops had
been drawn away to meet the vScots' advance, there was quartered
at Guisborough alone a regiment of Dutch mercenaries, -f The
Catholics of Egton were and still are a considerable minority of the
people ; but that would be the very reason why the Government
would exercise a stricter surveillance over them, as it might suspect
them of favouring the advent of a de jure Catholic King, in place
of the Hanoverians, foisted on the nation for nothing but their Pro-
testantism, who had in no way earned the affection, still less the
enthusiasm, of the people.
Amongst some evidence to be produced, there seems no cause for
suspicion to any general extent, like there might have been thirty
years before, when the first Hanoverian was hardly seated on the
throne. It shews however that, — (i) Mr Thomas Liddell, the recent
priest at Egton Bridge, had been taking some political action adverse
to the Government of the day, — (2) that when Bishop Dicconson,
who was resident at WyclifTe under the name of Eaton, appointed
]\Ir Luke Potts alias Cowper to the mission, with authority to Hervey
to induct him and introduce him to the Catholics there, he did so to
remedy Liddell's offence,— (3) that Her^'ey dissuaded Potts from
going to Egton Bridge, and persuaded him to remain at Ugthorpe,
knowing of the damage attempted by Liddell.
If there were a danger in Mr Potts going there, it may be inferred
that that danger would be accentuated by their both going, as they
did later, failing to obtain the precarious shelter sought, on which
he comments so bitterly, and — perhaps unjustly. There can be no
doubt of Hervey 's loyalty. He speaks of the highlanders as 'rebels.'
Potts is sent by Bishop Dicconson as a suitable missioner after
Liddell, and nearly all of the priests, arrested on suspicion, cleared
themselves of disloyalty, the real cause of their arrest. J This may be
construed into an opposition to two loyal priests ; but it is more
likely that the Egton people, having had experience of Liddell, and
little if any as to the views of Hervey and Potts (the latter being
an utter stranger to them), may have thought that they were likely
y^ There was no mission at Whitby itself until 1794, when the registers

J The arrests were made on an order of detainer issued by the Duke
of Newcastle, but the pretext for arrest is generally stated 'for being Popish

REV. MONOX HERVEY'S REGISTERS, 1729-5G 319
to be embroiled in schemes, which would have plunged the whole
nation in bloodshed, after a generation of settled government.
'Obedience to the powers that be,' is an injunction of the Church,
which such staunch Catholics, generation after generation, could not
fail to know. Only when the Government came between them and
God came their firm refusal to comply. On that basis the name
Recusant will always remain an honoured one amongst us. Those
of Ugthorpe and other places occurring in Hervey's registers, al-
though their precise positions in the families requires further detail,
read like a list of recusants at times.
PRIESTS IN THE DISTRICT
That there were constantly priests about Katharine Radcliffe's
house, we may be certain. It was probably Ugthorpe Old Hall, the
manor house, where, some years ago, images of St Michael and St
John the Baptist were discovered in one of the hiding places.* The
names of priests seem little known.
Christopher Stonehouse of Dunsley (Xpofer Stonas in Peacock's
list) is known to have been a great harbourer of priests from the time
of his starting in business as a jet and amber worker about 1590
and during the rest of his life (see his will proved 1631, C.R.S., vi.) ;
and it is stated that not one of them was captured, his ambition for
martyrdom in such an event being baulked by his own dexterity. He
was probably, during the earlier period, residing at his farm at East
Row. Its contiguity to the sea would render it a quiet landing place
if Whitby had to be avoided, whilst the park of IMulgrave Castle
and flanking valle3^s of East Row Beck and Sand's End Beck would
have provided alternative means of escape. Besides this it is related
that he had a house contrived with so many doors, as to be an
embarrassment to the searchers. On one occasion the constables
coming to apprehend him, his wife giving him warning, he slipped
out at one door, as they came in at another, finding the place at
which he had been working still retaining the warmth of his body.
Such incidents come out in the Annals of St Monica's, Louvain.
But how many incidents of a similar nature, and of other Catholics,
are unrecorded ?
His son Andrew, born at East Row, who became a priest at Rome
in 1623, under the name of Stonas, joined the Jesuits in 1634, died
in Yorkshire 31 August 1663, aged 66, according to Foley, who says
his death is recorded as Andrew Town, and that he went on the
Yorkshire mission in 1647. As John Fairfax he was a prisoner in
York Castle from j\Iarch 1657 to Sept. 1660, when freed by proclama-
tion. Nothing seems to be known where his missionary life in the
count}^ was spent. One might expect him to have visited his relatives
and the home of his youth, but conjecture is idle. Foley records
another alias, John Cuthbert ; but he falls into error by mistaking
Stonas as Latin for Stone, instead of broad Yorkshire for Stone-
house, f There must be fifty spellings of the name.
* Her name appears as contributing £2^ to the loan levied in 1589 to
repel the Armada invasion.
t There is nothing, however, peculiar to the county in finding the ' h '
silent in words with it in the middle. In names ending with 'ham,' 'hall,'

UGTHORPE AND SOME EGTON PRIESTS
A spy reported to the Privy Council in 1593 that the Rev. Cuth-
bert Cray ford, a Douay priest, had been serving at Mrs Katherine
Radcliffe's at Ugthorpe, in Blackamore, for a year, and also that
Alexander Rawlins, Peter Gonne, Peter Snowe, Richard Parker alias
Smith, Roger Redon, Thomas Jackson, Anthony Page, and John
Wilton, all priests, had been seen at the house of John Hodgson,
called Crowmonte [Grosmont, Growmond, &c.], in Blackamore. :%:
In Peacock's list of Yorkshire recusants in 1604 constant references
are made to secret baptisms and marriages implying that these func-
tions were by or before Catholic priests. On page 95 we read that
Robert Warmworth and Margaret Harrison of Stokesley, his supposed
wife, were suspected to be 'secretlj' marryed by a popishe preist
ah 021 1 Egton.' Also that Bartholomew George of Stokesley, a pew-
terer, had a child born in January and secretly baptized f at Mr
Barthram'sJ house 'with some popish preist, for two strangers were
sene ther in the night tyme suspected to be preistes.' Christopher
Hutchinson of Stokesley, a tannner, was 'a resetter [harbourer] of
strange persons suspected.' Stokesley then had a Catholic recusant
churchwarden, Thomas MorIey,§who 'refused to ioyne in the present-
ment because he knew more than the rest as is supposed.' At
Guisborough three families have children secretly baptised, including
Robert Hoggard's daughter Joan, 'by a popish preist, as is supposed
for he confesseth there was water & salt used.' At Lofthouse 'William
Sympson, 'cordwainerj and Elizabeth Gibson his supposed wife
marryed (as themselves confes) by a priest in York Castell.' Mr
Peacock thinks that the priest had resorted to the Castle to marry
them. But is it not equally likely that they had resort to the un-
named priest ? Coming nearer, John Hogg and Joan his wife, John
Ray and Jane his wife of Lythe w^ere secretly married. The first
had three and Robert Harland one child secretly baptized. Robert
Sympson, a turbulent Reaisant, of Hindervvell cum Roxby, and his
wife Elizabeth were secretly married, and 'also had fower children
baptized, not according to lawe.' Egton makes a brave show, —
'Xpofer Conset, Ellis Knaggs ; Chrofer Simpson, Dorothie Pearson ;
Henrie T-awson, Dorothy Marshall ; George Knaggs, Ellis Dowson ;
Xpofer Tailler, Jane Burton ; all thes lyve together as man and wife
& suspected to be secretly marr>'ed,' Edward Sympson, Henry

THE PARENTAGE OF NICHOLAS POSTGATE.
Being in York whilst the Index was being printed, I paid a visit to
the Probate Office, and found correct my surmise that Margaret was
the widow of James Postgaite. I therefore obtained the following
copies (expanded from the abbreviated originals) of the two ad-
ministrations. They lack the interest of wills, but tend to corroborate
the tradition that the Venerable Nicholas Postgate was born at Kirk-
dale House in Egton chapelry or town. As a recusant in 1612,
Margaret is described as of ' West Bankes,' in Egton. At the time
she had a recusant servant, Anne Postgate {N.R. Records, iii, 79, 80).
In 1614 she is given as 40 years of age, and a recusant 12 years
[? minimum], having a servant, Thomas Calvert, aged 24, recusant 7
{Ibid ii, 65). Here are signs of continuous residence, servants, and
means. For dates : —
1603-4: Jan. 30 — Administration of James Postgaite's goods granted
to his widow, Margaret.
1621 : July 4— Nicholas admitted an alumnus at Douay College,
where he assumed the alias of Whitmore — perhaps
his mother's name ? When arrested he bore that
of his paternal grandmother, Watson {C.R.S. x,
185).
1624 : Apr. 15 — Administration of Margaret's goods granted to
Matthew, her son.

John Roe & Raphe Ilanvood had children baptized privately.
Finally in Whitby parish Xpofer Stonas (mentioned above) and his
wife [Ursula, the second], George INIarsingale and [Ellis] his wife,
Henrie ffairfax and [Edith] his wife, were secreth' married.* The
parish registers are lost, but the records of the recusants' marriages
stand, although 'not knowne where.' The canon law did not necessi-
tate the presence of a priest, and the canon law was still the law
in England. We may be sure however that those who suffered so
much for the Church, did not fail to get the Church's blessing through
its validly ordained priests.
Here are evidences of priests working about the district, and yet
no names have been handed down. Good had to be done by stealth,
and anything in the way of a fixed residence would sooner or later
have led to apprehension and the shambles. And so the first priest,
who can safely be said to have been a local missioner, was —
The Rev. Nicholas Postgate. The Doiiay Diaries, first made
public by the vSociety, revealed some authentic information quite
at variance with previous statements, and it was my privilege
to add a few particulars, f The son of James Postgate, both
parents having suffered much for the Faith, is described in Jan.
1615-6 as of Egton, where Margaret Postgate, a widow, was a recusant
in 1614 and 16 16, probably the same of Kirkdale (administration 15
April 1624). t It is certain that Nicholas was admitted to the English
College, Douai, as an alumnus, for which he paid three hundred florins,
4 July 1621. He was aged 21, and assumed the name of Whitmore.
He took the college oath 12 INIarch 1623, "^^'^^ ordained priest 20 March
162S, and set forth for the English mission 29 June 1630 at the age
of thirty. At this date the Diaries fail us, and the next dates we
have are vague ones given bj' himself on 9 Dec. 1678, the day after
his capture, when in his sevent%^ eighth or ninth 3'ear, and possibly
dazed after rough treatment. The examination is not his own state-
ment, but such facts as could be extracted from him by magistrates,
&c. He is put down as 'about eighty.' Again 'About 40 years since
he lived at Saxton with the Lady Hungate until she died.'
Among Saxton recusants of 1604 appear the names of William
Hungate, esq., (only a noncommunicate then) and his wife Margaret
[daughter of Roger Sotheby of Pocklington], William Hungate, and
Johanna his wife, who is given by Foster as ' . . . daughter of Sir
John Gower, knt.' § Tiie 5'ounger William was knighted at York
* The Christian names are supplied from later recusant lists in the North
Riding Records.

J Yorks. Archcpol. Rec, xxxii., 159. Whether this is Margery, wife of
James Postgate of Ugglebarnby or not, requires elucidation by wills, etc.
But since the Douay Dairies (C.R.S., x. and xi.) were printed I noticed an
administration of James Postgaite of Kirkedale (in Egton), 20 Jan. 1603 (n.s.
1604), who may be the husband of Jane Postgate of Egton, widow, a recusant
in 1604 (E. Peacock's list, 97, 99). This is the earliest printed list of local
recusants. It is worth noting that the signature of the martyr, in a book
belonging to the Bishop of Middlesborough, is spelt Postgayt, not Postgate,
Poskett, etc. Mr Peacock thought the relationships might 'for ever remain
uncertain.' It would be pleasant to disprove this and print copies of wills,
etc., shewing the pedigree. Not only indeed in this case, but in others, where
the subject is one of veneration.

II April 1617, and his widow, T,ady Joaiie, renounced administration
of his estate ig Dec. 1634.* Whether Postgate had been chaplain to
Sir William Hnngate, or to I^ady Hungate, before this is not stated.
The i^ev. Cyril Ash, Vicar of Saxton, obligingly favours me with a
copy of the faded post-entry in the parish registers of Saxton, which
clearly readsf 'Memorandu the [ ] daye [ ] — Ladie Johan
Hungate of Saxton d3-ed the 30th of ]\Iaye 164^.' Here we have a
definite date, and Postgate's 'about 40 years' agrees with the middle
term of Lady Hungate's widowhood, the last date being over thirty
six j-ears and a half only. There is no entry of Lady Hungate's
burial at Saxton, but one would like to imagine that Postgate rendered
the last rites privately in the Hungate chantry, which would be
under control of the family.
The next statement however demonstrates the martyr's inability
to fix dates at the time, — 'And since he hath lived with the old
Lady Dunbar, but Iwjj long it is since he knozccth not.' Mary,
daughter of vSir John Tufton of Hothfield, Kent, was wife of Sir
Henry Constable of Halsham and Rurton-Constable, Holderness, w'ho
was created Viscount Dunbar 14 Nov. 1620, and died in 1645. On 18
Jan. 1553-4, she petitioned the sequestration commissioners to be
allowed to compound for twt) thirds of her dowry of i^aoo and for two
parts of East and West Halsham. I have not been able to ascer-
tain the date of Lady Dunbar's death ; but it is not so important
as that of Lady Hungate's, Postgate's information being very
vague.
Sir Philip Constable of Everingham, baronet, had probably
learned to appreciate Postgate during this chaplaincy, when, on 20
Feb. 1^^64-5, he left 'to ]Mr Poskett (if living) 5/.' iC.R.S., iv., 269).
The Rev. Peter vSaltmarshe, who was born at (South) Kilvington
Castle in 165S stated that he was baptized by Postgate (Foley, Records
5.7., vi., 434).
Ihomas Ward, states that Postgate dwelt in a thatched cottage
on Blackamoor, a wide tract of moor-land. This eminent Catholic
writer was born a Protestant at Danby Castle in 1652, was educated at
Pickering, and was later a tutor. § We may conjecture that he must
have been at least 20 j-ears of age when he became a Catholic,
which would be about 1672, when Postgate was about 72 years
old. Although he states that he knew Postgate well, that know-
ledge was hardly likel3' to be before he became a Catholic, and
reduces the friendship to the last six years of the missionary life
of the martyr. His statement may however be that of Postgate
1 elating to a time previous to 1672, or his personal knowledge
of . . . Midleton of . . , co Lane' (Joseph Foster's Yorks. Visitations,
1 14-15.) The name is sometimes g'^'^i^ ^s Elizabeth, which must be wrong
from evidence given in the text.

This sequestration was for her recusancy, and the decision was that she was
to have her full third part paid in kind.

later. We have however Pcstgate's exanr'nation on 9 Dec. 167S,
saying,— 'Of late he hath had no certaine residence, but hath travelled
about among his friends.' The only names ne revealed in the exami-
nation are those of the dead. Some martyrs had times of weakness.
Postgate had none, and he compromised no living man. He names
Mr Jowsie (mentioned later), and jNIr Goodricke, both dead. The latter
may have been a member of the Hovingham family. His heroic con-
stancy has our veneration, and leaves us only the poorer in knowledge
of his movements. It was reserved to two apostate women to state
that they had heard Postgate say Mass at the houses of John Hodg-
son of T3iggin House, near TJgthorpe, and of Thomas Pattinson of
Ugthorpe. Matthew Lytli of little Beck in the township of Uggle-
barnby and parish of Whitby, in whose house Postgate was, and
whom he attempted to save, shared the imprisonment. We find in
these notes that he officiated in at least three houses, instead of
people coming to him.
The Rev. John Jowsey was probably working about Egton before
December 167S : but there is only the last date 8 Dec. to go by, when
Andrew Jowsej^ was apprehended there as a priest. This was at the
same time that Postgate was arrested a few miles away, and the inten-
tion must have been to capture the two simultaneously. A witness,
Matthew IMorgan of Egton, deposed that he had heard Andrew describe
himself as a priest and say he came from Ireland. He denied the fact
of his being a priest, but declined to take the oaths, including that
of supremacy, being evidently a Catholic. The case is clearly that
the wrong man had been arrested, for John Jowsey, the real priest,
was dead, as appears from Postgate's examination ; and the prisoner
w-as acquitted. * Whether John Jowsey had been in Ireland or not, he
was clearl37 a Cleveland man.
He went to Douay describing himself as son of Thomas Jowsey,
of York diocese, and Jane his wife. His parents are described as
of small means, who had endured much persecution, his father having
suffered fetters and prison, and his mother hardships and losses in
their home, as confessors of the Faith. Profiting by their example,
and by the advice of pious priests, he turned his attention to literary
studies, giving up the art of a currier or leather-dresser, which he
had followed for some years with profit. Then he was animated to
embrace the ecclesiastical state, and succour his afflicted country.
On arrival at the College he gave himself to the study of humanities
and philosophy, and acted as assistant to the administrator or pro-
curator, but dwelling in the town at his own expense, and suffering
many hardships. Nevertheless persevering in his intention, in his
third j-ear of theology, the President presented him for all the sacred
orders including the priesthood. He was admitted to the College as
a convictor 2q Dec. 1646; went to receive orders 13 March 1647 at
■Maurontis Villam.'f and returned 2 April, singing his first Mass
on the 22nd. On 2 June he had again to seek a home in the town.
On 30 July 164S he wrote an acknowledgement that he had only been
admitted to the college on condition that, after receiving priest's
orders, he was to live in the town at his own expense. On the same

day he was examined as to his fitness for the English mission, and
on i8 Aug. he set forth by way of Holland, presumably for Yorkshire,
as on 12 July following he turned up with two Yorkshire boys, Mat-
thew I.ockwood alias Atkinson and JMarmaduke Beckwith alias
Thomas Nateb}'. On lo Dec. 1651 he came back to the college to
take back the second boy, leaving again three daj'S later, also taking
charge of Nicholas Tempest alias Wilmot, who had to leave on
account of his health.
Matthew son of Robert Lockwood, of vSowerby by Thirsk, peti-
tioned to have the sequestration on his father's estate taken off, 26
June 1655. After his father's death in 1646 he had been put to a
Protestant school ; but when 14 years of age and 'beyond sea,' had
been summoned to take the oath of abjuration, and not since his
coming of age. The sequestration was discharged.* If Mamiaduke
Beckwith was of the Ackton family, they had some property at
Thirsk. f There were also Beckwiths of Handale Abbey in Loftus
parish, Cleveland. The enquiry seems to suggest that "jowsey was
v/oricing at or near Thirsk.
The recusant lists are suflicientl}' clear as regards the family in
spite of the spellings. Ihej' all refer to Guisborough, the capital town
of Cleveland, about ten miles from Ugthorpe. In 1604 Thomas Jolsey,
carpenter, was one of nine old rcciisa}its, whilst Jane Gradon, servant
to Thomas Jolsey, was one of 22 obstinate recusants since Easter Anno
1603. Whether she became his wife is not certain. Tho. Joey and
Jane his wife recusants in 1607. Tho. Jocie and Jane his wife, rec.
iii. years, in Jan. 1607-S. Tho. Jowsie, carjjenter, and Jane his sup-
posed wife, rec. S years in i6og.t Tho. Joey, carpenter, and Jaine
his wife, in 1611. Tho. Jowsie (aged 60), carpenter, and Jane (34)
his wife, in 1612. Tho. Jowsie, carpenter, in 1616. The will of
Thomas Jowise of Gisbrough, carpenter, is dated 25 Jan. 1620 (o.s.)
and proved 19 April i62i.§ His son, the priest, as the Doua}^ Diaries
shew, appears, — 'John Jowsie of Gisburgh, currier,' was presented
and proclaimed a recusant at Thirsk sessions, 5 Oct. 1636, and con-
victed at Helmesley on 10 Jan. 1636-7. It is likeh'- that he assumed
aliases on the mission ; but no other information is now at my dis-
posal. Thomas Jowsie or Jorosie the shoe-maker and infirmary ser-
vant at IDouay College was doubtless a relative.
The Rev. George Smith had evidently been on the Ugthorpe mis-
sion sometime previous to 24 July 1684, and there was a stipend
attached to the work, as appears from Franciscan archives. A pro-
posal had been submitted to the Franciscan Chapter 'whether the
province would accept the incumbency of Ugthorpe in Yorkshire,
now held by the Rev. Father George Smith, of the Order of Hermits
of St Augustine, who receives twelve pounds per annum for his ser-
vices; with this condition — that our [Franciscan] missionary shall

pouuds shall revert to the A.tigustinian fathers, if they obtain from

said to have been accepted; but no further particulars are given.
The Franciscans may have served the mission from Osmotherley.
The Eev. John :Marsh, educated at St. Omers and Valladolid,
where he was ordained, returned to England in 1660. His early
labours are said to liave been in the South of England; and during
the Gates plot he was banished from London by the machinations of
Thomas Dangerfield, the informer. For a time he was in Lancashire,
and 'then humbly betook himself to the most desolate and laborious
place in Yorkshire, that is to assist a great multitude of poor in
the .Moors, where, at one Easter, he had near 900 communicants,
and these scattered at great distances. His abode was chiefly at
Egton Bridge.' He is described as a priest 'of excellent wit, parts,
and zeal.'t" The Rev. Bernard Kelly gives the year ieiS5 ; but Ivir
Gillow thinks he was there about 1590.
Mr Anderton is the first mentioned by Hervey as forced to leave
the place [sic]; but whether he refers to Ugthorpe, or Egton, or
the Moors generally, is not clear. He gives no date, and leaves us
in the dark as to whether it was due to the government, local autho-
rities, or privations. Whether he was the Thomas Salkeld, alias
Whalley, alias Anderton, suggested in a foot-note, remains doubtful;
but if so he went on mission work 16 Dec. 1694, and died in 170S.+
Mr John Danbj' is said b}^ Hervey to have been cast into York
gaol as the evil action of the poor penitent Ursula Hawkswell about
1710 ; but a quotation from an official document, embodied in a foot-
note, shews the warrant for his apprehension was dated 13 July 1708,
and he is described as 'of Egton Bridge' ; and on 5 Oct. 1708 the
Treasurers were directed to pay the chief constable of the Langbarugh
(Cleveland) 32s. 6d. charges in taking up some Roman Catholics at
Egton and elsewhere. § If Hervey's date is right Danby must have
escaped apprehension for a considerable time. It is significant that
he talks of houses and grounds being betrayed as though in some
secluded position, that tliere was a fixed domicile for the priest. It
must however be noted that what he heard occured a quarter of a
century before he went to Ugthorpe, and so was hearsay, put down
in writing many years later. Mr Danby was ordained at Lisbon
College II Dec. 16S9, left for England 2 Jan. 1693, and was only
known to be somewhere on the mission in Yorkshire before.
i\Ir Eostock is said by Hervey to have 'died of cold in hiding
himself from the constables' ; yet on another page he says that he
'was forced to fly.' These statements are so clearly at variance with
one another as to raise further and stronger doubt as to his m.emory.
If the incident refers to the same period as that to John Danby, one
might surmise that this one being of Egton Bridge, Hervey's 'Mr
Eostock' might have been missioner of Ugthorpe. There are
'grounds and houses belonging to the priest of the place' ; yet

immediately after he speaks of 'the house and chapel.' He goes
even further, sa3nng that Ursula Hawks well 'betrayed all the grounds
and houses [plural] belonging to the priest [one] of the place
[one] and sold them.' Besides the question of date it is matter of
wonder what authority this woman had to sell. Was she trustee?
No one would be likely to buy without a proper title. Perhaps he
means that her action caused the alienation of the property; but it
is loose writing.
It is quite possible that the event may have been years later
during the apostacy of Ursula Hawks well. Kirk and Foley give the
nam.es of two priests named Bostock, both named George ; but they
were not aware of either of them being at Ugthorpe or Egton Bridge.
There are some suggestive words about the infirmity of George
Bostock alias Baron, son of Roger and Eliza (Kirk says Alicia)
Bostock of . . . Lanes. Admitted to the English College, Rome, i8
Oct. 1695 at the age of 23, and ordained priest 5 June 1700, he left
fof England 12 April 1701.* Placed at Hathersage soon after his
arrival, not later than Ladyday 1702. Long disabled before death
which took place 28 Dec. 1727, aged about S5-f There is however
Bostock alias West, son of Thomas and Anne B., of co. Denbigh,
admitted to the English College, Rome, i Oct. 1683, aged 19. Or-
dained priest 12 June 1688, he left for England i July 1690. J He is
said to have lived in Staffordshire or Derbyshire, and his death is
given 17 Sept. 1728, § aged about 64. If the dates here given are cor-
rect, and if there was no other Mr Bostock, the incident mentioned
by Hervej' must applj^ to the second George Bostock, priest at Egton
Bridge, between Ma}' and vSeptember 172S. For in May Bishop
Williams, O.P., held confirmations at four gentlemen's houses in
Cleveland, as shewn by the following table supplied to me by the
Rev. Bede Jarrett, O.P., from the Dominican archives at Haverstock
Hill. It will be noticed that no reference is made to Ugthorpe, unless
it be in the words 'et prope' ; but the few local people would be more
likely to resort to Mr Richard vSmith's at Egton Bridge, rather than
to that of Mr Zachary Steward More at North Loftus. The letters
'S.vS.' stand for Sacerdotes Seculares.

The Rev. Thomas Smith is named by Hervey as banished, with-
out date. One of the name, born 30 June 1674, of Chester diocese,
took the college oath at Douay 8 Sept. 1696. He may be the same
who died at Oulston, near Esingwold, 2 Nov. 1755. \\ Mr Gillow says
that Bishop Dicconson inserted in the list of his clergy in 1741 'Tho :
Smith at Oulston wth La Falc. Do[uay priest].' He would thus be

into Yoikshire, and died 24 May 1726.1
Monox Hervey's appointment at Ugthorpe from 25 May 1734 till
his arrest 11 Dec. 1745, is recorded by himself. See above.
The Rev. Thomas Liddell, ordained at Lisbon 21 Jan. 1742, and
sent to England 16 Jan. 1743,1 was evidently the one at Egton, to
which he must have gone very soon. It would seem that he had
given offence to the governn:ent, presumably by political propaganda
in favour of the Stuart d^'nasty. This appears in the examination
of Mr Potts, who was sent to replace him. He does not belong to
Ugthorpe; but is inserted here on account of his association with the
subject. He is crobably son of William Liddell of Wyclift'e, gent.,
who by will left 'to my son Thomas Liddell ;{;2o per annum during
his natural life, provided he quitt and renounce all claim or right to
what may have been left him by my brother Thomas Liddell. '§ He
leaves the residue of manors, &c., in Ravensworth, Farnacres, Win-
ton, Newsham, &c., in cos. Durham and York to 'my sons Cuthbert
and William (executor) and my daughter Marj' Farraj^' with re-
mainder to 'my dear cousin IMarmaduke Tunstall (executor) of
Wycliffe, esq.,' and names 'my cousin Adam Dale (executor) of Girk-
lington.' The will is dated 9 May 1742, inrolled 17 Jany 1744-5. (^^ •
Riding Rec, ix., 164.) The brothers William, in 1717 of West Middle-
ton, CO. York, Henry and Thomas, held equal shares of ,^25 4s. 1^2'd.
in Whickham, co. Durham, in 1747, and allowed their father, Henry
Liddell ^iS yearly (Paj^ne's Non-jurors, 55 and 57). The Rev. Thomas
Liddell died at Liverpool, 12 May 1775 (C.R.S., xii., 13, iS).
The Rev. Luke Potts alias Cooper was appointed to the Egton
mission by Bishop Dicconson, Vicar Apostolic of the Northern Dis-
trict, by letter to Hervey dated 12 Nov. 1745, delivered the following
day. Hervey thought however it would not be wise for Potts to go
to Egton after what had taken place, and advised his remaining at
Ugthorpe. This was done; but, when the news had leaked out that
the arrests were to be made, both tried to obtain shelter amongst
the Catholics at Egton ; failing which they wandered about the moors,
until exhausted they returned to Ugthorpe, and were arrested on 11
Dec, as shewn elsewhere. He was resident at Ugthorpe, but must
be accounted one of Egton's missioners ; his incarceration however
precluded further connection. Kirk relates that on his acquittal
(on 21 Dec. 1746 as Hervey says) he rode sixty miles to Wycliffe,
* First Doiiay Diary, 54, S7, Sg.
t Kirk's Biographies, 120. There is possibility of confusion as Kirk ncimes
another Francis Hodgson who died — April 1733, a year before Hervey went
to Ugthorpe.

and that, when called the next morning, he was found booted and
spurred, kneeling as he knelt exhausted to say his- prayers the night
before. * He was born at Throckley, near Newcastle-on-T^- ne, and
ordained priest at Douaj'.
After the arrests of Hervey and Potts difficulty maj' have been
experienced in making appointments to Egton and Ugthorpe.
The Rev. Thomas Shepherd had been in charge of Ugthorpe some
time previousl}^ to August 1747, probably after Hervey's lelease from
prison on 2 June, on condition of his leaving Yorkshire, but owing
to the troubles of the time had to leave soon. The son of William
vShepherd and Mary Bhmdel of Chester diocese (who are stated by
Gillov/ to have been of Croxteth, Lancashire,) he took the college
oath at Douav on 2S Dec. 1741, when aged 21. He would thus be only
lately ordained on his appointment, and probably died in Holderness
on 19 Jany 1774. Having seen a statement that he became later the
missioner at Egton Bridge, serving Ugthorpe at times, the following
statement seems called for.
The Rev. John ( ?) Shepherd is stated to have gone to Egton Bridge
in 1750. In a return made to the Archbishop of York (dated 26 Nov.
1767, but probably compiled in the previous year, as witness the case
of James Parkinson below) he is described as 52 years of age, and
resident at Egton Bridge 16 years. If the date of the document is
1766, this would tally with the John Shepherd born in London 19 Feb.
1714, who has not hitherto been known to be at Egton, calling for
notice here as he supplied at Ugthorpe during vacancies. Kirk's
Bio^^raphics (p. 207) gives him as son of John vShepherd and Brigitta
Wilkinson, his wife, both Catholics. After studying four j-ears and
a half at Douay, he was admitted to the Roman College 6 Aug. 173 1,
leaving 17 April 1732, and proceeding to Lisbon College. Gillow
{Records of Lisbon College, p. 250) says he was ordained priest there,
sent to England 16 July 1637, and stationed at Cowdray, Sussex,
in 1745. Kirk surmises that he lived there many years ; but his
advent to Egton would be dated about 1750, as shewn above, and he
must have remained there at least 16 years, although Kirk says he
settled at the Convent at Hammersmith in 175S. It is possible that
he was there in that year for a time, or that the year is wrong, or
that another of the name (1678-1761) may be mistaken for him, and
who died at London. Our John vShepherd, like the other, became a
member of the Chapter, its vSecretary, and in 17S1 Dean. He died at
London 11 March 1789, aged 75 {C'R.S., xii., 31, where his name is
given as Sheppardf). Mr Gillow says that Bishop Dicconson gives
his baptismal name as Thomas; but Bishop Gradwell supplied the
name to Kirk as John, although he connects the name witli Lanca-
shire.
The Rev. Edward Ball, alias Worthington, who took the college
* Kirk's Biographies, 18S. It must be pointed out that the evidence pro-
duced shews that Kirk is wrong about Potts being actually in office at Ugthorpe
and Scarborough.
t This spelling agrees with that in Cowdray registers, {C. R. S. i, 244) where he
signs the first entry. Fr Willaert says all the entries before 1757 are in the same
handwriting, the assumption being that he was at Cowdray all the time. It is quite
likely that they are all copies, it being more certain that the man who wrote the last
wrote the first. The first four entries carefully give the parentages ; but then they
are laxly omitted. Mr Redford baptized once in 1749, and the ' Rev. Lord,
the Lord O'Donell' in 1752, perhaps an Irish bishop.
REV. MOXOX HERVEY's REGISTERS, 1729-50 329
oath at Douay 3 Nov. 1735 when aged iS,* was a professor there till
6 Aug. 1747 after which he was appointed to Ugthorpe, but left in
1750, t and then there seems no appointment for several years, during
which the mission may have been dependent on Mr Shepherd at
Egton Bridge.
The Rev. Peter Phillips alias Pessell or Purshall took the college
oath at Douay 12 April 1690. He had been at Egton Bridge in 1741,
and in 1743 went to Le3^burn, coming to Ugthorpe about 1757 (C.R.S.,
xiii., 233), and died there 23 Nov. 1761 {C.R.S., xii., 10). Mr Gillcw
says Bishop Dicconson describes him as a priest of the English
College at Rome.
The Rev. James Parkinson (confused with James Parkinson, a
Douay priest, who died in Lancashire, 26 Jan. 1766), ordained 2 April
175S at^Lisbon, and left 13 May, he is said to have come to Ugthorpe
about the end of 1761. In a return made to the Archbishop of York,
dated 26 Nov. 1767, 'Mr Parkinson' is given at Ugthorpe without
the usual further particulars. He died at Ugthorpe 13 Nov. 1766,
vvhich maj' account for the omissions. +
The Rev. Christopher Hodgson, son of "William and Elizabeth
Hodgson of Ugthorpe, born 1729, admitted to Lisbon College i June
1745^ and ordained priest 7 April 1753, left for England 1762, was
stationed at Ugthorpe till his death 25 Dec. 1765, aged 36.- If his
term at Ugthorpe is covered by that of Mr Parkinson (nt supra), we
may assume he returned home an invalid, perhaps doing some work,
as he died so young. The mission could not have supported two
priests.
The Rev. John Bradshaw came from Douay in 1767 and in the
following year opened the new chapel, which occupied the space
ever his rooms, and under the thatched roof. § It sounds the reverse
of magnifence, but this had to serve its purpose for 42 j^ears. At
Bishop William W^alton's visitation in Oct. 1773 the communicants
of the congregation were returned at 173. Mr Bradshaw left
Ugthorpe for Cliffe in 1777, but he died at Ugthorpe 30 April 1790. II
The Rev. Thomas Ferby succeeded about 1774. The son of Thomas
F. and his wife Dorothy Lumsden, born 25 INIarch 1740. Ordained at
Rome 17 Dec. 1763, and left for the mission in IVIay 1764.^
The Rev. John Marsland, ordained at Douay in 1763, was at Scar-
borough in 1773, returned to Douay 4 Jan. 1775, and left again 18
Apr. 1776. He came to Ugthorpe in 1777.)^* He took the college oath
at Douay, 27 Dec. 1760, being described as of Lancashire (First Douay
Diary, 72), and died 9 Aug. 1S17 {C.R.S., xii., 135). Mr Gillow thinks
that there has been a confusion between Marsland and Morland, and
kindly supplies me with the following memoir.
'The Rev. James Wilson alias Morland, son of James Wilson and
his wife Agnes JMorland, born in Lancashire, May 23, 1726, took the

Lancashire. In 1767 he was at vStydd Lodge near Ribchester where
he was known as Morley or Morland. Subsequently he was at Alston
Lane, near Preston ; Greystoke Castle, the seat of the Howards ; and
would appear to have come to Lgthorpe in or after 1777. After some
time he became insane, and was removed to an asylum in York, where
he died May 20, iSoS, aged 82.'
The Rev. Henr}' Dennett succeeded in 17SS, but remained only a
3'ear, and after this brief tenure termed Ugthorpe, — 'The Purgatory
of the Mission. '3(c
The Rev. Thomas Talbot took charge of both Ugthorpe and Egton
in 37S8 until 1S03. In 1794 the Abbe Nicolas Alain Gilbert started
the Whitby mission, which remained in his charge until 1S15. A
note in the registers states that the communicants at Whitby in 1774
were not above 15, whereas in 1815 the number had risen to 184.1 The
second sou of James Talbot of Wheelton, Lancashire, he was born 27
June 1736, and admitted to the English College in Rome 14 Jan. 1752,
ordained 10 April, and sent on missionary labour 25 May 1762. His
brother John, born in 1737, who died at Rixton in 1801, became a
Jesuit. Another, Richard, born in 1738, was also ordained in Rome
in 1762, was for some time at Bishop Thornton, near Ripon, and died
I August 1S23 {Cor,i. by Mr Gillow, and C.R.S., xii.).
The Rev. George Leo Haydock was appointed to Ugthorpe in Feb.
1S03. The income of the mission was shortly after augmented by
;i{^io, the bequest of Rowland Conyers, esq., and £s from the Rev.
Mr Tootell. Mr Haydock found the chapel in a very dilapidated con-
dition. In October he replaced the old thatch by a tiled roof and
renovated the place. In iSoS he was contemplating a new chapel
and house, which were opened in iSio. When the x\bbe Gilbert
left Whitby for France on 20 Aug. 1815, Mr Haydock had to serve
that growing mission from Ugthorpe, but was ordered to reside at
Whitby from Jul}^ 1816.J In 1822 the Rev. Richard Gillow was ap-
pointed to Ugthorpe, with charge of Scarborough, but could not
stand the strain, and resigned after seven months, and the work
again devolved on Mr Haydock. §
On 23 June 1827, the Rev. Nicholas Rigby was appointed to Egton
Bridge, and took over the care of Ugthorpe, to which he moved in
1835. He died 7 vSept. 1SS6 at Ugthorpe aged 86, having retired
two years before. To his energy is due what is to be seen now, —
a new church and presbytery and a prosperous middle-class school,
such as his predecessors could only have dreamt of. He was a fellow
collegian at Ushaw of the illustrious Cardinal W'iseman, who opened
the new church in September 1S57. Cardinal Manning opened the
schools in 1870, and in a short time they contained over seventy
students.
His curate from 1883, the Rev. Edmund Hickej', succeeded him.
The heads of the establishment since have been the Revv. Henry
Reynolds, 1891 ; Richard Lewis, 1S93 ; and Patrick jM'Kernan, 1904 to
date.

X The Hodgsons were probably the most important Catholics of Ugthorpe
at the period. In 1717 the following papists registered their estates.
Francis Hodgson of Foggithwaite, yeoman, son of John H. of Growmond,
deceased, and Elizabeth his widow who had an annuity of £2, whilst
another son, John, had a charge of ^50 (A'. A". Yorks. Rec, viii., 29). John
Hodgson of Bigginthorpe, yeoman [Ibid.). William Hodgson of Ugthorpe,
yeoman, grandson of Cuthbert H. (Ibid. 20.). There is also Elizabeth,
widow of George Hodgson of Ugthorpe, yeoman [Ibid.). But as there is
a statement of further relationships concerning the sale of part of the same
estates in 1734 {Ibid., i.\., 126), it may be well to amalgamate the two as
below. John Hodgson, of St Paul's, Covent Garden, Middlesex, perriwig-
maker, is named in the second paper. Cuthbert Hodgson of Whitby,
gentleman, and Christopher Simpson of Hunt House, in Goathland, malster,
are named as trustees ; and John Maire and Thomas Smith, gentlemen,
both of Gray's Inn, were probably the notaries. Elizabeth Hodgson mentions
as relations of her deceased husband, Cuthbert Hodgson of Stakesby,
William Hodgson of Ugthorpe and Gabriel Dale of Ugthorpe.

583. Son of John
Gardiner of the diocese of Chester, and his Wife Catherine Midford, he took the
college oath at.Douay 23 Sept. 1703 ; but proceeded to Paris, where he was ordained
23 Sept. 1713, and madeD.D. in 1715. Before August 1717 was chaplain to Lady
Mary Radcliffe at Old Elvet, Durham, till her death 3 March 1724. Was at York
some years, but returned to Durham, and died there 2 Oct. 1740. Hervey must
mean that that he was Vicar to Bishop Williams for the Northern District, which
seems justified by the dispensation and other circumstances {First Douay Dairy ;

3^c Henry, son of Rodger (Roger) Stonehouse, was baptized at Hinderwell,
12 Dec. 1714 [Orig. Registers) ; his mother being Mary Hutchinson, married
30 Nov. 1704 {Ibid., see note C.R.S., iv., 378). Henry was uncle of
Klizabeth (baptized there i6 April 1793) who married Richard Hansom of
York. She handed down the tradition to her grandson (my father) that the
family had been alwavs Catholic, and that some ancestors used to go to
Stokesley, with the ladies RadclifTe, to be fined for recusay. I thought
this meant Ladies RadclifTe, until studying recusant lists I found the
RadclitTes of Ugthorpe and Stonehouses (Stonas, etc.) in the same lists,
summoned to the sessions held at several places. My father used to look
on Christopher Stonehouse of Dunsley (and East Row as appears by his
will in C.R.S., vi., 73-4) in Morris's Troubles of our Catholic Forefather,
i., 222, as a direct ancestor. The Annals of St Monica's, Louvain, have
been published since his death. Christopher does not appear in the roll
of recusants as one in 1592-3, because he was a prisoner in York Castle,
and escaped 23 Aug. 1593 after 20 months imprisonment. This was for
sending crosses, etc., to Catholic prisoners, asking for prayers for his wife
in her first confinement, and refusing to attend Protestant worship. The
name of his first wife, Frances Smith, is left blank. It is very likely that
his second wife appears as, Ursula wife of George Fairfa.x? If this is
so, Christopher's son Andrew, a priest of the English College at Rome, and
later a Jesuit, assumed the alias of Fairfax from his step-mother's name in
her earlier marriage. At Y'ork there is an administration of the estate of
George Fairfax of Dunsley, 4 Oct. r^gS; perhaps a son of George Fairfax
who married Frances, daughter of Sir Francis Salvin of Xewbiggin.
t It is likely that this couple secured registration by a subsequent
parochial marriage, for Thomas Elden and Anne Alleson both of this parish,'
were married 'by virtue of Bans published,' on 26 Aug. 1740. The following
burials occur, — 23 May 1761, Susanna dau. of Thos. Eldin ; 4 Apr. 1763,
Thomas Eldin, householder; 23 Dec. 1773, Ann Eldin, widow. Tho. Eldin
appears as witness to a church terrier in 1754. Very few of the name
appear in the registers. (Rev. John Blackburne's Registers of Inglebye
juxia Greenhow.)
X It would have been of interest to know whether he was related to
Matthew Lyth, who attempted to save the martyr, Nicholas Postsgate, when
arrested in his house, and who was committed to York Castle with the martyr.

t See note to heading of previous year, which if 1742, would make this
year 1743 or even 1744, as 1745 follows. This affects also the two registers,

looks as though some real evidence existed as to political action or language.

English College, Lisbon, where he was ordained 27 March 1742, and went
to Roundhay. After his release he went to Arundel Castle, and later to
Lisbon where he was chaplain to the Bridgettines. Ill health caused his

12 Dec. 1779.
* It is intended to produce some details about him in another paper.
t Hervey's longer detention may be due to his keeping the school ?
± Perhaps Thomas Salkeld, alias Whalley, alias Anderton, born 1624,
ordained at Rome 1652, who was at York in i6gi. {C.R.S.j iv., 375.)
§ A warrant for the apprehension of John Danby of Egton Bridge was
directed 13 July 1708 (IV. R. Yorks. Rec, vii., 213). This was for 'saying
Mass.' He was probably the Lisbon priest ordained 21 Dec. 16S9, sent to
England 2 Jan. 1693.
II There are two priests called George Bostock in Obituaries of secular
priest {C.R.S., xii., 2, 3) who died 2S Dec. 1727 and 17 Sept. 172S. It
must be matter of regret ihat Hervey did not give more particulars of the
four names, presumably at Ugthorpe, between Nicholas Postgate, arrested
in 1678, and his own going to I'gthorpe in 1734.

t It would be difficult to ascertain how many of the 1755 North Riding
Recusants of 1690 {Hist. MSS. Com., ix, part i) survived when Hervey
went to Ugthorpe 44 years later. But from Ursula's great age, it may
be safe to identifv Frank Hawkeswell and Ursula his wife of Ugthorpe.
Ursula, wife of Fr. Hawkeswell, was a recusant in Jan. 16S0-1 when
they were described as of Roxby. Her apostacy and bad conduct must
be assigned to an earlier date, before 13 July 1708. If this is not loosely
written, it may imply that there were priests' houses (? and chapels) at
Fgton and Ugthorpe, and that later he refers, in the singular, to one
only, i.e. to the house and chapel at Ugthorpe.

The remaining implication is that Mr Anderson had succeeded to a

CO. Herts, created in 1643, became extinct in 1699; but was assumed by
several people of the name of Anderson up to the middle of the
eighteenth century, and your Sir William may have been a member of

OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS SUPPLEMENTING
REV. MONOX HERVEY'S REGISTER
CONTRIBUTED BY JOSEPH S. HANSOM
The following documents are from the North Eastern circuit records
at the Record Office, London, and were selected to illustrate the
register of the Rev. Monox Hervey, or as he appears in Yorkshire —
John Rivett. The letters are not complete, but I could find none of
the other fourteen mentioned in Hervey's examination, and there
would seem to have been sopie of Anderson's beside those produced.
They consist of depositions or informations, and examinations
relating to Hervey, Anderson and Potts ; whilst some refer to the
two Misses INIetcalfe of Guisbrough, compromised by being the
vehicle for passing school money to Hervey; and an account of
Edward Clavering's marriage in York Castle, by his wife, &c. The
index will give the necessary references between the documents and
the registers.
The arrangement has not been easy, some overlapping others,
chronological order not being always possible or advisable. An
endeavour has been made to group them. J. S. H.

(16) BISHOP DICCONSON TO [? RKV. WILLIAM ANDERSOn].
[The addressee, probably the Rev. William Anderson then chaplain
at Crathorne, had consulted the Bishop as to accepting the position
of spiritual adviser of a member of the Thornborough family of
Leyburn. Like many of the county gentry they were at times
resident in York, the 'Parish, where there are so many priests,' in
the Bishop's words. In 1767 Mr Thomas Daniel, then aged 50, had
been resident 25 years in that city. He died there 25 Aug. 1770.
In 1769 there were nine priests resident there. Lop Lane, as shewn
in Gent's History of York, 1730, leads from the southern end of Mint
Yard towards the Minster, coinciding with Little Blake vStrcet where
two successive chapels stood, on the site of the present theatre.
* In Kirk-Levington parish, three miles S.E. of Yarm, and about three
N.W. of Crathorne.

Sir Wyllifif [Wycliffe] 28 Feb : 1 74!
Your's of the 19*'' J have, concerning what the daughter of
M" Agnes Thornburgh desired. My advise is, that you would
do well to make your excuse to her : and decline all such Visits ;
which if not necessary are very chargeable. If it be her inclina-
tion to be directed b^'' you in matters of conscience, it \xi\\ be no
ways proper for you to meddle there (contrary to the general use
of all others) in so great a Parish, where there are so many Pr"^ *.
Besides she living in a Familj^ where one is keptt ; your medling
that way may as I forscc, bring complaints to me on that head. If
she have difficult}^ to make use of the Gent : kept by Lord ; she may
safely adress her self to M" Daniel in Lop-Lane, who has sufficient
prudence to give her the best advice. You ma}' truly alledge that
3^our own Parish concerns require your residence at home, which
being your Duty, the other not so, you desire her to excuse you
from so long and improper Journey. This is the advice of

(18) REV. THOMAS DANIEL OF YORK TO THE REV. WILLIAM
ANDERSON OF CRATHORNE.
[This letter — No. 10 — is evidently one of those seized amongst the
Rev. William Anderson's papers. The Rev. Thomas Daniel, de-
scribed as of Lop Lane by Bishop Dicconson, is the writer, and
evidently had some financial responsibilities. It would perhaps be
taken as evidence of money passing illegally; but the object is clearly
about Mr Anderson's stipend as chaplain at Crathorne. It fixes some
dates and particulars of interest.]
