Thomas Sherwood (martyr)
Blessed Thomas Sherwood (c. 1552–1579) was a Catholic layman and martyr.
==Life==
Sherwood was born in London of Catholic parents and began his adult life as a woollen draper. He eventually decided to travel to the new English College at Douai and study for the priesthood in 1576. Before completing his studies he decided to return to London to settle his affairs and find money to support his further studies.
In the city he was a visitor to the house of the Catholic Lady Tregonwell, where it seems that Mass was secretly offered. The woman's son, by her first marriage, Protestant George Marten, resented this. Happening to see Sherwood in the street in Chancery Lane, he began to cry "Stop the traitor" aloud. In this way he managed to have Thomas brought before a judge.〔(Whitfield, Joseph Louis. "Bl. Thomas Sherwood." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 14. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. 3 Feb. 2014 )〕
Although there was no proof of any kind against him, he implicated himself by answering openly on the issue of the Queen's supremacy.〔 Once he had been imprisoned in the Tower of London, and at the orders of the Privy Council, his lodgings were searched and a large sum of money, approximately 20-30 pounds, which Thomas had borrowed to help his sick father, was removed.
