MARGARET CLITHEROW, wife of a York butcher, was put to death for her religion under Queen Elizabeth in 1586. She is sometimes called" the protomartyr of her sex in England," though…strictly the title should go to Blessed Margaret Pole, who was executed about forty years earlier, under Henry VIII. Yet we may allow that Margaret Clitherow has a glamour all her own which imprints her image on the minds of men. Her gaietyand courage, her wit and her charity, combine to produce a very special flavour. That she should also be the mother of a young family adds poignancy to the story. It has been remarked that, like the protomartyr of England, St. Alban, she died for the " crime" of harbouring priests. We know her with unusual intimacy because her "ghostly father "-we should now say her spiritual director-wrote an account of her within three months of her death. He was Mr. John Mush, a seminary priest who began his studies at the College in Douay, but in 1579 was sent to finish his course in Rome. He probably came on the English mission in 1582 or 1583, so that he knew Margaret Clitherow only for the last three or four years of her life-though it is always possible that he had come across her before he went abroad to study for the priesthood. What he tells us of her finished holiness makes a singularly moving picture. Size: 4.5" By 6.75" Tall.
