John Hawksford : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Hawksford
John Hawksford (5 October 1806—3 September 1887) was a successful and wealthy solicitor and attorney, a prominent member of the Roman Catholic laity of Wolverhampton and served as Mayor of Wolverhampton from 1863/64, becoming the first Roman Catholic to do so. ==The Church== Hawksford had converted to Catholicism and by the late 1840s he had become a prominent member of the Roman Catholic lay community in Wolverhampton. At a cost of £2,000 he purchased land from the agent to the Duke of Cleveland for the building of a new Roman Catholic church for the town. He battled with the Bishop of Birmingham, William Ullathorne over funds for the building works and letters show that this continued through to the laying of the foundation stone for what was to become the church of St Mary and St John.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Wolverhampton History and Heritage Website )〕
