More July Martyrs

Stephanie Mann's blog Supremacy and Survival: The English Reformation  has recently had a series of posts on martyred priests and laymen - some of them convert Anglican clergy - from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century whose commemorations fall at this time of year. Her posts can be read at
