  • The Priest in the Priest Hole – The Execution of John Cornelius (1594)

    The Priest in the Priest Hole – The Execution of John Cornelius (1594)
    Jul 4 2025
    On 3rd or 4th July 1594, Catholic priest John Cornelius was executed at Dorchester, along with three loyal men: Thomas Bosgrave, John Carey, and Patrick Salmon. Their crime? Helping a priest in Protestant Elizabethan England. In today’s video, I share the story of John Cornelius—from his Irish-Cornish roots and education at Oxford, to his exile, priesthood, arrest at Chideock Castle, and eventual execution. A tale of courage, faith, and one man’s final decision to become a Jesuit before facing death. A sobering glimpse into the dangers faced by Catholics in Tudor England.
