William Lampley (martyr)
William Lampley (died 1588) was a sixteenth-century English recusant. A glover by trade,[1][2] he was described as being 'little of education, yet with an almost apostolic zeal in religion.' Apparently betrayed by one whom he had recently aided, he was convicted of assisting priests.[3] He was executed in Gloucester[4] on 1 August 1588.[5]
He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 22 November 1987.[6]
