St Edmund Campion - or at least a relic of him - has been back in some of his old haunts in the Thames valley. Escorted by the Knights of St Columba the relic has been on its annual tour around churches culminating in a visit to the site of his martyrdom at Tyburn.

This morning it was at Holy Rood in Oxford for veneration following the morning Mass and on Sunday it will be at Lyford Grange, where the saint was arrested in July 1581, for a service at 3pm

There is an account from David Nash Ford of St Edmund's capture at Lyford here.
My post about the saint from his feast day last year can be read at St Edmund Campion.
