Andrew Bromwich
Andrew Bromwich ( c.1640-1702 ) was an English Roman Catholic priest, a survivor of the Popish Plot, and the founder of the Oscott Mission, which later developed into St. Mary's College, Oscott.
== Early career ==
He was born at Old Oscott in Staffordshire, to a Catholic farming family which, according to local tradition, had already produced several priests. He entered the English College, Lisbon in 1668, was ordained about 1672, and returned to Staffordshire to take up his mission.〔Croft, Walter, Gillow Joseph,and Kirk, John ''Historical Account of Lisbon College'' St. Andrews Press Barnet 1902 p.49〕 His home county had one of the strongest Catholic communities in England, and it enjoyed a certain degree of immunity from the Penal Laws due to the fact that Walter Aston, 2nd Lord Aston of Forfar, the predominant local landowner, was a Catholic who made little attempt to conceal his beliefs.〔Kenyon, J.P. ''The Popish Plot'' 2nd Edition Phoenix Press London 2000 p.7〕
Bromwich took the crucial precaution, which ultimately saved his life, of swearing the Oath of Supremacy and the Oath of Allegiance. Prior to the outbreak of the Popish Plot it was unofficially understood that priests who could prove that they had taken the oaths were to be left in peace, and even at the height of the Plot judges were often disposed to be merciful to them.〔Kenyon p.203〕
