486th Anniversary of Blessed Richard Whiting’s Martyrdom
This Saturday, 15th November, we remember Blessed Richard Whiting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury, and his companions John Thorne and Roger James, who were executed on Glastonbury Tor in 1539 for their steadfast faith during the Reformation.
Despite injustice and suffering, they remained faithful to the end. Beatified in 1895, their witness continues to inspire us today.
Please join us in prayer and remembrance for these Glastonbury martyrs.
