Bl. George Beesley Biography

Blessed George Beesley was born into a Catholic family. He was ordained at the English college, Rheims, France on 14 March 1587. On November 1, 1588, he went back to England. He intended to minister and to convert Catholics during the persecutions led by Queen Elizabeth I. In 1590 he was captured and imprisoned for the crime of being a priest.

He was repeatedly tortured in order to give the names of the other Catholics. Even though his health and body were battered, he did not tell his captors anything. His execution was prompted by the statute of 27 Eliz., in Fleet-street, London.
