  • Catholic Martyrs of Gloucestershire by Michael Bergin and Margaret and Patrick Gethen
    Catholic Martyrs of Gloucestershire by Michael Bergin and Margaret and Patrick Gethen St Peter's Church, Gloucester Acknowledgements In November 1987, to commemorate the beatification of five Gloucestershire Catholic martyrs, the Gloucestershire Catholic History Society published a booklet written by Patrick and Margaret Gethen. This recounted what is known of Blessed Richard Sargeant, John Sandys, Stephen Rowsham, William Lampley and Henry Webley. The booklet was republished in 2005. Journal No 53 of the Gloucestershire Catholic History Society, published in October 2010, reproduced the original 1987 booklet with the addition of articles by Michael Bergen on Blessed Thomas Alfield and the Venerable Thomas Webley. Thank you to Debbie Cottam who in 2013 re-typed the original text. 1 Statutes under which the martyrs were charged The Statute of Treasons of 1351 (Edward III Stat.5, Cap.2) The basic treason law of England. Compassing or attempting the death of the King, or his heirs, is high treason according to this law. Act to retain the Queen’s Majesty’s subject in due obedience (23 Eliz. I. Cap.1. 1581) This Act made it high treason to reconcile or be reconciled to the Catholic Church or to induce others to be so reconciled, (persuading to popery). Act against Jesuits, seminary priests and other such like disobedient persons (27 Eliz. I. Cap.2 1585) This act made it high treason for a Catholic priest ordained abroad to come into or remain in the realm after 24th June 1559. It made it felony for anyone to harbour or assist him. The sentence for a priest was that he should be hanged, drawn and quartered, for a layman that he should be hanged.

At the University of Florida, I have benefitted from the generous financial support of the History Graduate Society and the Graduate School. Specifically, I benefitted immeasurably from the Office of Minority and Graduate Programs’ Delores Auzenne Dissertation Award and the Graduate School’s Dissertation Research Award. A great number of librarians and archivists have also provided research support, helpful suggestions, and their expertise on the colonial southeast. I would first like to thank Bernard Powers, Sherman Pyatt, and Marvin Dulaney, who first stimulated by interest in lowcountry culture as a graduate student at the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston. Numerous scholars at various levels in my academic career have provided timely input that provided my research with direction and purpose. Chris Boucher, my thesis director at the College of Charleston, and Scott Poole, who served as the program director at the time of my graduation, helped me to apply my research interests to the source bases available and provided valuable feedback as members of my M.A. thesis committee. I would like to thank Ida Altman, Jessica Harland-Jacobs, James Davidson, and Jim Cusick for serving on my dissertation committee at the University of Florida and offering their own varying perspectives on my topic.
