[1] Blessed George Beesley was born into a Catholic family in a farmhouse that is now the presbytery for St. Francis, Hill Chapel.
With the church taken over by the newly established religion, the area Catholics held services in private homes.
A man of singular courage, young, strong, and robust, his torture by Topcliffe left reduced to a skeleton.
[3] He was hanged, drawn and quartered in Fleet Street, London[4] along with Montford Scott under the statute of 27 Eliz.
