John Lockwood (priest)

John Lockwood (born about 1555; executed at York, 13 April 1642) was an English Roman Catholic priest.

He was the eldest son of Christopher Lockwood, of Sowerby, Yorkshire, by Clare, eldest daughter of Christopher Lascelles, of Sowerby and Brackenborough Castle, Yorkshire.

With the second son, Francis, he arrived at Reims on 4 November 1579 and was sent to Douai College to study philosophy.

[1] It is also recorded that before going to the seminary his father had offered him a large sum of money to choose another way of life.

Now 87 years of age, he was hanged, drawn, and quartered at York with Blessed Edmund Catherick.
