Martyr, b. 1561; d. 1606. His father was a Protestant, and his mother a
Catholic. He was educated as a doctor, but later decided to enter the
priesthood, went to the English College at Reims, then to Rome, where, after
ordination, in 1587, he became a Jesuit. Next year he returned to England in
company with Father John Gerard, and worked, chiefly in Worcester, until he was
arrested with Father Henry Garnet and taken to the Tower. No evidence connecting
him with the Gunpowder Plot could be obtained, and he was executed for his
priesthood only. Two letters of his are at Stonyhurst (Ang., III, 1; VII, 60);
the second, written from prison, overflows with zeal and charity. His last
combat took place on 7 April, at Red Hill, Worcester. With him suffered his
faithful servant, the Ven. Ralph Ashby, who is traditionally believed to have
been a Jesuit lay-brother. Oldcorne's picture, painted after his death for the
Gesú, is extant, and a number of his relics.
