Rev james edward burden sr


Edward Burden (c.1540-1588) was a sixteenth century recusant priest. Born in County Durham, he was a graduate of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He studied at Duoay College and was ordained a priest in Rheims in 1484. He is probably best known for being one of the Eighty-five martyrs of England and Wales, for, arriving in England in 1586, he was captured two years later and executed by hanging, drawing and quartering in York on 29 November 1588,

He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 22 November 1987.
