William Lampley (martyr)

William Lampley (died 1588) was a sixteenth-century English recusant.

A glover by trade,[1][2] he was described as being 'little of education, yet with an almost apostolic zeal in religion.'

Apparently betrayed by one whom he had recently aided, he was convicted of assisting priests.

[5] He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 22 November 1987.
