[1][2] Returning to England in 1594, he worked in Herefordshire as a missionary in both Welsh and English, especially among the poor, for about 16 years.

Search was made for him in June 1605, but it was not till Easter, 1610, that he was arrested at the house of Mrs. Winefride Scroope, widow, within eight miles of Hereford.

[1] He was condemned, merely for being a priest, some months before his execution, which took place at Leominster; a very full account is given by Richard Challoner.

He is said to have hung for a long time, suffering great pain, owing to the unskilfulness of the hangman, and was eventually cut down and butchered alive.

[1] John Pitts praises his knowledge of Greek, from which he translated Theodoret's Ecclesiastical History.
