Execution

Tudor Catholic martyrs depicted in Ushaw College (info) for all visitors to admire.

 

The pair in the centre, being upper-class, were beheaded (hence the axe). The rest were more ordinary and so hanged. Except for the woman.

 

And has she brought along doughnuts for everyone? Alas no, in fact she's showing some of the stones piled on her to crush her.

 

Painted in 1937 by Geoffrey Webb as a tribute to Mgr Brown, Ushaw's 13th president.
