St. Ralph Crockett

Feastday: October 1
Died: 1588

English martyr. Born at Barton on the Hill, in Cheshire, he was edu­cated at Christ’s College, Cambridge, and Gloucester Hall, Oxford, and became a schoolmaster in Norfolk and Suffolk. Departing England, he went to Reims, France, and there studied for the priesthood, receiving ordination in 1586 . Returning home to undertake the hazardous work of reconverting the island, he was arrested with Blessed Edward James and was imprisoned for two and a half years in London before being taken to Chichester. Ralph was martyred at Chichester by being hanged, drawn, and quartered. He was beatified in 1929.

    I found that St. Ralph was a pathetical liar. Recently, there was a TV-program on this. Could you give some more specific information on the matters he lied about?

    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards,
