BLESSED HUGH TAYLOR, PRIEST AND MARTYR

 

Blessed Hugh Taylor, born c. 1560 at Durham, northeast England was hanged, drawn, and quartered November 26, 1585 at York for being a Catholic priest. He was ordained in 1584 at Reims (or possibly Douai). On March 27, 1585, he was sent on the English Mission and arrested together with 

Blessed Marmaduke Bowes. Fr Taylor was the first martyr condemned under the recently enacted Statute 27 Eliz. c. 2. He was immediately executed. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on November 22, 1987, with George Haydock and Companions.
