He was born in the East Riding of Yorkshire, was ordained priest at Reims, and returned to England in 1588.
At the age of 70 he was betrayed and taken to York with his host, Mr. Vavasour of Willitoft, and some members of the family.
[1][2] A pair of beads and the form of an indulgence were found upon him, and he was condemned to be hanged, drawn, and quartered.
[1] Nicholas Atkinson (died 1610) was said to have been an English Catholic priest and martyr.
