Venerable William Patenson
Venerable William Patenson, English
martyr, born in Yorkshire or Durham;
died at Tyburn, 22 January, 1591-2. Admitted to the English College, Reims,
1 May, 1584, he was ordained priest September,
1587, and left for the English mission 17 January, 1588-9. On the
third Sunday of Advent,
1591, he said Mass in
the house of Mr. Lawrence Mompesson at Clerkenwell, and while dining with
another priest,
James Young, the priest-catchers surprised them. Young found a hiding-place,
but Patenson was arrested and condemned at the Old Bailey after Christmas.
According to Young, while in prison he converted and
reconciled three or four thieves before their death. According to Richard
Verstegan, he converted, the night before his martyrdom,
six out of seven felons, who occupied the condemned cell with him. On this
account he was cut down while still conscious.

The
One Hundred and Five Martyrs of Tyburn – 22 January 1592
Venerable William
Patenson, secular priest
He was a native of Durham and became an alumnus and
priest of Douai College during its residence at Rheims, and was sent on the
English mission a year after his ordination. He came to London to seek counsel
in order to rid himself of the scruples of conscience with which he was
troubled. On the third Sunday in Advent, 1591, the house where he was staying
was searched by constables and churchwardens and sidesmen of the Protestant
Parish Church with the object of finding which of the inmates did not attend
the services. Father Patenson was seized and condemned at the first session
held after Christmas. The night before his execution he was put into the
“condemned hole” with seven malefactors who were to suffer with him on the
following day. He converted six of them and helped them to make their peace
with God. The persecutors were so enraged at the profession of the Catholic
Faith they made on the scaffold, and the constancy with which they accepted an
ignominious death in satisfaction for their past crimes, that the Martyr was
treated with more than usual barbarity

and Five Martyrs of Tyburn, by The Nuns of the Convent of
Tyburn, 1917

Mementoes
of the English Martyrs and Confessors – Venerable William Pattenson, Priest,
1592
Article
Born in the county of Durham, he entered Douay
College, was ordained priest in 1587, and went upon the English Mission in
1589. After two years work he came up to London to consult some fellow-priests,
and so rid himself of certain scruples of conscience with which he was much
troubled. He stayed in London at Mr. Laurence Mompesson’s house (a Catholic
gentleman) in Clerkenwell, where was in hiding another priest, Mr. James Young.
On the third Sunday of Advent, after both had said Mass, the pursuivant
suddenly entered the house. Mr. Young escaped through the hiding- place, but
Mr. Pattenson was caught in at tempting to follow him. He was tried at the Old
Bailey and condemned. The night before his execution he was put down into the
condemned hole with seven malefactors. In his zeal for their salvation all his
own troubles, interior scruples, and fear of impending death vanished; he gave
himself up entirely to their conversion, and spoke with such effect that six
out of the seven were reconciled by him, and died the next morning professing
the Catholic faith. The persecutors were so enraged at the conversion of these
men, that they caused the martyr to be cut down immediately, so that he was
alive and conscious while being cut open.

† Tyburn, Londra, Inghilterra, 22 gennaio 1592
Beatificato nel 1929.
Martirologio Romano: A Londra in Inghilterra,
beato Gugliemo Patenson, sacerdote e martire: condannato a morte sotto la
regina Elisabetta I per il suo sacerdozio, anche in carcere riconciliò con la
Chiesa sei persone con lui detenute e infine a Tyburn sventrato coronò il suo martirio.
Processato quasi subito all'Old Bailey e condannato a morte per alto tradimento, fu rinchiuso nelle prigioni di Newgate, in attesa dell'esecuzione, fissata per il 22 genn. 1592. Nella cella dove era stato trasferito la notte precedente al supplizio si adoperò intensamente a condurre al pentimento delle loro colpe i sette malfattori, che come lui dovevano essere giustiziati la mattina seguente, riuscendo a riconciliarne con la Chiesa cattolica sei, i quali infatti sul patibolo vollero professare pubblicamente la loro fede, provocando con ciò peraltro il più vivo rancore dei carnefici contro il Patenson sul quale infierirono crudelmente allorché subì il martirio. Testimonianza di questa ultima opera di apostolato del Patenson trovasi in una relazione contemporanea di R. Verstegan. Beatificato da Pio XI il 15 dic. 1929, il martire Guglielmo Patenson viene commemorato il 22 gennaio.
