Description: | From the reverse of the image: Padley is at Grindleford near Sheffield. It was formerly the home of the Fitzherbert family. On July 12th 1588, when Priests had to disguise themselves, the two Padley Martyr Priests were caught and arrested at Padley, taken to Derby and on July 24th 1588 were martyred at Derby on St. Mary's Bridge. The Ven. Nicholas Garlick and the Ven. Robert Ludlam were both ordained in 1582 and both laboured in England from 1582. "These two glorious men." says an ancient manuscript. "without the least sign of fear professed themselves to be Catholic Priests at their trial and were condemned to the terrible death of hanging drawing and quartering." Padley Chapel is Sacred and Venerable because of it's association with these Martyr Priests. The Manor House was pulled down but the chapel remained and was a place of pilgrimage for many years. Finally in 1931, the Chapel came into Catholic hands and it is now the property of the Diocese. During the excavations the original Altar was discovered and restored to its rightful place and reconsecrated on May 12th 1934 Ven Nicholas Garlick, Pray for England Ven. Robert Ludlam, Pray for England | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
