160 YEARS OF ST PETER’S: A SHORT HISTORY OF ST PETER’S (source: A History of St Peter’s Mission by Fr Dominic Minskip)

1783 Catholics began meeting in Apple Market (now King Street) 1798 Catholics meet in Westgate in a cottage at the corner at Tollergate and Long Westgate, which was used for visiting priests. 1809 The first substantial chapel was built in Auborough Street. It could accommodate 400 people and was used until 1858. 1828 The first resident priest in Scarborough was Fr Lyons. There were about 80 Catholic families in the town. 1835 Rev John Walker replaced Fr Lyons (see wall plaque of St Peter’s church, near the statue of St Peter’s). He remained priest for 38 years, with responsibility for Egton Bridge, as well. 1856 The Foundation Stone of St Peter’s Church was laid. Sky Spire above Large, hanging 1858 The building of St Peter’s Church at the top of Tollergate lights altar Sanctuary lamp took 2 years. The architects were Weightman, Hadfield & Goldie of Sheffield. Both George Goldie (principle architect) and Matthew Hadfield were Catholics. The church was intended to seat 700 people. The internal dimensions are: width 53 feet, length 115 feet, height of nave 50 feet. Originally a tower was planned, as can be seen in the architects impression (see logo, and the image that hangs in St Peter’s Rectory), but the tower was not built for financial reasons. The Church was scarcely complete when Cardinal Wiseman came for the opening on 28 July 1858. 1860 The Old Chapel in Auborough Street was turned into 3 school rooms, and was run by St Joseph Nuns from York. 1870s Fundraising efforts were made to repay outstanding debts and to complete the interior. The Church was finally consecrated in 1908 by Francis Mostyn, Bishop of Menevia, N Wales (churches could open for worship but could only be consecrated when all debts were paid). 1878 Catholic population in Scarborough was around 1,000. 1960s The floor of the Sanctuary and chapels were replaced in marble. The marble nave pulpit was removed, as well as the spire above the tabernacle, so that the painting of the Crucifixion above could be seen. The photo to the right shows the interior of St Peter’s, before removal of the above. Note these and other differences. Our Gothic church today carries a Grade II listed building status. We can be proud of our Catholic past and salute all the Drop down Hymn High altar sacrifices made by so many down the years for our Pulpit benefit and for our spiritual home. side lights board only L o

Blessed Nicholas Postgate (1596/97–1679) PRAYER INTENTIONS

He Social Networks: That social networks may work towards is one of the 85 English Catholic Martyrs of England and Wales, beatified by Pope John Paul II, in November 1987. that inclusiveness which respects others for their differences. He was born at Kirkdale House, Egton, , England. He entered Douay College in France in 1621. He was ordained to the diaconate on 18 March 1628, and to the priesthood two days later. He was sent to the mission in the 1630 s, and settled back in Ugthorpe, not far from his birthplace, in the 1660s. His parish, which was known by the now extinct name of Blackamoor, and covered the area between Guisborough, Pickering and Scarborough. Although anti-Catholic feeling in England had subsided at the time, it flared up again due to the fake Popish Plot of z 1678 , which follo wed a false testimony from Titus Oates in

which he claimed there was a conspiracy to install a Catholic king. A fierce renewal of persecution of English Catholics ensued. This was the last period when Catholics were put to death in England for their Faith, and Nicholas Postgate was Hone of the last victims. During the panic engineered by Oates, a prominent Protestant magistrate in London, Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, was murdered and Oates blamed the Catholics. Sir Edmund's manservant, John Reeves, set out to get his revenge. For reasons which are not clear, he decided to base his actions in the area, possibly because he knew that priests arrived there from France Nicholas Postgate was apprehended by the excise-man, Reeves, while carrying out a baptism at the house of Matthew Lyth, in Little Beck, near Whitby. Reeves raided the house during the ceremony and caught the priest, then aged 82. Father Postgate was condemned for being a priest. He was hanged, disembowelled and quartered at York, His quarters were given to his friends and interred. Have faith in God’s healing power One of the hands was sent to Douay College. Reeves was listed in a treasury book as having been paid 22 Shillings for his apprehension of Postgate but some believe he never received the money before he committed suicide by drowning. The portable altar stone of Nicholas Postgate hangs at the front of the altar at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, Pickering, where it is now venerated. Every year since 1974 an open-air service has been held in honour of Fr Postgate, alternately in Egton Bridge and Ugthorpe. The pub in Egton Bridge is called 'The Postgate" in his honour. SUNDAY SMILE: The Postgate Society aims to spread knowledge of Nicholas Postgate and promote interest in Catholic history during penal times The Postgate Society exists to foster devotion to Blessed Nicholas Postgate, and to the rest of the English Martyrs.
