THE OATEN HILL MARTYRS THE OATEN HILL MARTYRS The Southwark Martyrs are eighteen priests and lay people who suffered for the Faith within the boundaries of the Archdiocese of Southwark. Three of them - John Stone, John Jones and John Rigby - were among the Forty Martyrs canonised by Pope Paul Vl in 1970; nine have been beatified (of whom these four were martyred at Oaten Hill, Canterbury), Blessed Edward Campion Blessed Christopher Buxton Blessed Robert Wilcox Blessed Robert Widmerpool The causes of the remaining six await the discovery of further documentary evidence. BLESSED EDWARD CAMPION Edward Campion was the alias used by Father Gerard Edwards. He was born atLudlow in Shropshire and studied at Oxford where he obtained a degree. Thiswould indicate that he had subscribed to the new religion, since only thoseprepared to take the Oath of Supremacy, swearing on the Bible that the kingwas the rightful governor of the Church in England and so denying the authorityof the Pope, could come down with a degree. He then became a servant to GregoryFiennes, 8th Baron Dacres of the South. Baron Dacres was married to AnneSackville, a member of a family with strong Catholic leanings. Gerard wasreconciled to the Church at this time, and in February 1586 went to the EnglishSeminary at Rheims. Here he adopted the name of Campion in order to associatehimself more closely with St Edmund Campion, who had been martyred some yearsearlier. Because of his good education, his priestly training was shortened,and he was ordained in March 1587. A few days later he set sail for England,but after only a few weeks was arrested at Sittingbourne. He confessed hewas a priest and boldly avowed that the religion now professed in Englandwas heretical. He was then taken to London and imprisoned in the MarshalseaPrison in South London. Father Campion was examined again on 14th August,1588,and at the end of September he was sent to Canterbury for execution. BLESSED CHRISTOPHER BUXTONChristopher Buxton, a Derbyshire man, was born in 1562, and was educatedat Tidewell Grammar School where one of his masters was Nicholas Garlickwho was himself martyred for the Faith. In July 1582 Christopher arrivedwith two school-friends at Rheims. In 1584 he was sent to the English Collegein Rome where he was ordained on 26th October 1586. He had a lengthy anddifficult journey across Europe, calling in at Rheims on his way to Dieppe.In September 1587 he crossed over to Kent, but was arrested there in Novemberand taken to the Marshalsea prison. On 15th August 1588 Father Buxton wasexamined and then taken to Canterbury for trial and execution at the endof September. At his examination he admitted he was a priest. BLESSED ROBERT WILCOXRobert Wilcox was born in Chester in 1558 and entered the seminary at Rheimswhen he was twenty-five years old. He was ordained on 20th April 1585 andarrived in England on 7th june 1586. He was arrested almost immediately atLydd in Kent, presumably where he landed. He, too, was sent to the Marshalseawhere he was examined on 15th August 1588. Here he admitted he was a priestand was sent for trial with the others to Canterbury. BLESSED ROBERT WIDMERPOOLRobert Widmerpool was born in Nottinghamshire in 1560 and was at Oxford in1578. There is no record that he graduated, an indication that he had remaineda Catholic. A little later he obtained a post as a tutor with the Countessof Northumberland. In 1588 he was charged with hospitality towards priestsand specifically with having introduced a priest into the house of the Countess.He was imprisoned in the Marshalsea, and was sent down with the others fortrial and execution at Canterbury. It would seem that it was decided thatthe executions of Catholics should take place in significant local centresaround London so that the example made by them would be felt as widely aspossible.The Martyrdom We have no account of their trial, but some details of their execution at Oaten Hill have been preserved. They were all hanged, drawn and quartered. We know, too, that Robert Wilcox was the first to suffer. He told his companions to be of good heart. He was going to heaven before them, where he would would carry the tidings of their coming after him. Edward Campion was next to die. We do not know what he said before his death, but it is on record that he refused a chance to escape from the Marshalsea, saying: I would gladly escape if I did not hope to suffer martyrdom. Robert Widmerpool was probably the next to die. He kissed the ladder and the rope, and with the rope round his neck gave God hearty thanks for bringing him to so great a glory as that of dying for his faith in the same place where St Thomas of Canterbury had died for his. Finally, Christopher Buxton was led to the scaffold. He was the youngest and was offered his life if he conformed to the new Church. Father Buxton replied: I would not purchase a corruptible life at such a rate, and, if I had one hundred lives, I would willingly lay them all down in defence of my faith. BLESSED EDWARD CAMPlON, BLESSED CHRISTOPHER BUXTON, BLESSED ROBERT WILCOX AND BLESSED ROBERT WIDMERPOOL WERE MARTYRED AT OATEN HILL, CANTERBURY, ON 1st OCTOBER 1588, AND BEATIFIED BY POPE PIUS Xl IN 1929.
