==Life==
Born in London, Waterson was brought up in the Church of England. In 1588, returning from a mercantile trip to Turkey, he stopped in Rome and was brought into the Catholic Church there by Richard Smith. Waterson proceeded to Reims where he was ordained into the priesthood on 11 March 1592.
In the summer of 1592 Waterson to returned to England, where legal restrictions on Catholics were severe, in order to minister to hidden Catholics. Joseph Lambton, a young Catholic priest who was on the same ship was arrested upon landing, but Waterson escaped.〔"Ven. Joseph Lambton" ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' (1913)〕 However, he was captured by the authorities in midsummer 1593 and held until just after Christmas (OS), when he was hanged, drawn and quartered, as a traitor. While incarcerated in the Newgate prison he had attempted to escape by burning down his cell door.〔("Records of Newgate Prison" St Matthew's Guild History of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne )〕
