Mementoes of the English Martyrs and Confessors

A book of daily reflections for every day of the year, each pairing a brief episode from the life of an English martyr or confessor with a passage from their own writings. Together the entries trace the long persecution of Catholics in England, from Henry VIII's Oath of Supremacy and the dissolution of the monasteries, through the Elizabethan years, to the Puritan era.

Alongside St Thomas More, St John Fisher and St Edmund Campion are lesser-known heroes, including lay men and women who risked everything to shelter priests. A moving way for British Catholic families to come to know their own martyrs.
