Priest, martyr, b. at Burton-on-Trent; quartered at Stafford, 27 July, 1587. He
is not to be confused with the Venerable Robert Sutton, who was a companion of
the Venerable William Hartley. He took the degree of M. A. from Christ Church,
Oxford, 9 July, 1567, and became Rector of Lutterworth, Leicestershire, in 1571,
but was converted by his younger brother William, afterwards S.J. With his
younger brother Abraham, who matriculated from Hart Hall in 1576, aged 25, he
arrived at Douai, 23 March, 1575 (1576). They were both ordained subdeacons at
Cambrai in September, deacons in December, and priests in the following
February; having said their first Masses, 7 March, they left for England, 19
March, 1577 (1578). Robert was arrested at Stafford, and condemned merely for
being a priest. He was cut down alive. After the lapse of a year Catholics
managed to secure one of his quarters, when the thumb and index-finger were
found to be intact. Abraham Sutton gave Father John Gerard the thumb, which is
now at Stonyhurst College.
