The circumstances which led to the further (and final) arrest of Edmund Arrowsmith on 14 August 1628 are described in a letter of 27 December 1628 written by Rev William Harte of the English College, Douai, to the Clergy Agent in Rome, Thomas White alias Blackloe. Now preserved in the Westminster Archdiocesan Archives at ref. AAW A22/156, the letter reads in part as follows:
“Two in Lancashire had married together; the woman was not Catholic, the man was. There was somewhat in the marriage for which they stood in need of a dispensation. Mr. Arosmith was employed in obtaining itt, in the meantime the woman became Catholic. When the dispensation came, Mr. Arosmith would not make use of it before the parties had separated for the space of 14 daies, which thing incensed them much against him, so that knowinge the tyme when he was to return to their father's house where they lived, they secretli sent word to one Rostern, a Justice of Peace, to come and apprehend a priest. The Justice, not willing to bring his neighbour in danger, sent him word that he was to search his house; that by this means, having intelligence, he might convey away the priest. Which being done, the searchers, according to the custom, busied themselves in looking, but could find nobodi, so returned home. In their return, about a mile from the gentleman's house, upon the way they met with Mr Arosmith...”
Another letter in the Westminster archive, this time from Rev Francis Barber to Mr White/Blackloe and dated 8 November 1628, identifies “the man” as a Mr Holden, son of the landlord of the now-demolished Blue Anchor Inn at Brindle.*
Edward Rawsthorne (otherwise “Rostern”, “Rawstorne”, “Roshorne”, “Rosethorne” etc) of the New Hall, Edenfield, occurs as a justice of the peace in Lancashire from 1624 until 1642.** There is a curious warning in the manuscript of 16 August 1631 at Birmingham Archdiocesan Archives ref. R941 P.142: “take care of a mistake in the printed book, for it was not Mr Rostern who then was sheriff; though it says so, it names him purposely to defame him”. This may refer to the insinuation that the harsh conditions in which Fr Arrowsmith was subsequently held at Lancaster were due to the testimony -“so sore against him” - given by “one Captain Roystern, a Justice whose man took him after most impudent denial of a token from ye Prisoner at his apprehension”.*** Rawsthorne/Rostern was in fact High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1628/9. A pedigree recorded by Sir William Dugdale, “Rosethorne of New Hall”, indicates that he died c.1653.
*Ref. AAW A22/143. I can find no definite reference to Mr Holden or to the marriage in Church of England parish records of the period. There also seems to be some disagreement as to whether the perceived irregularity was that the marriage was consanguineous, that it was “mixed” or that it had been contracted in accordance with the rites of the Anglican church.

Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are thinking of an alias and shooting themselves. We're told that, in the USA, 9 April is Name Yourself Day. Hence we're invading Of Me.
Tommy Fleetwood is one of my sporting heroes, so I'd be quite happy to be his lesser-known brother.

Saint Vedast Foster Lane or Saint Vedast-alias-Foster, a church in Foster Lane, in the City of London, is dedicated to St. Vedast (Foster is an Anglicisation of the St Vaast as the saint is known in continental Europe), a French saint whose cult came to England through contacts with Augustinian clergy.
The original church of St Vedast was founded before 1308 and was extensively repaired in the seventeenth century.
Although the church was not completely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, it was restored by 1672 on parochial initiative. However, the church required substantial reconstruction by the office of Sir Christopher Wren between 1695 and 1701, with only small parts of the older building surviving to be incorporated, most noticeably parts of the medieval fabric in the south wall which were revealed by cleaning in 1992-3. The three-tier spire, considered one of the most baroque of all the City spires, was added in 1709-12 at a cost of £2958, possibly to the designs of Nicholas Hawksmoor whose correspondence with the churchwardens survives. The organ was built by Renatus Harris in 1731, originally for St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange.
Wren's church was gutted a second time by firebombs during the London blitz of 1940 and 1941. A proposal by Sir Hugh Casson to leave this and several other ruins as a war memorial was not implemented. The post-war restoration within the old walls was undertaken by Stephen Dykes Bower. He re-ordered the interior in a collegiate chapel style with seating down each side with a side chapel in the former South aisle, and squared the old walls which were not rectangular in plan so that the altar now faces the nave squarely. He made an almost imperceptible taper in the pews and floor pattern, to give afalse perspective towards the altar, making the church look longer than it is. The architect also designed the richly decorated 17th century style plaster ceiling. He reused fittings from other destroyed City churches, including the richly carved pulpit from All Hallows Bread Street and the font and cover from St Anne and St Agnes. Dykes Bower commissioned the Whitefriars glass windows in the East End, showing scenes from the life of St Vedast. These windows are largely opaque to hide tall buildings behind and to disguise the fact that the East wall is a wedge in plan. The work was completed in 1962. An aumbry by the south chapel altar is by Bernard Merry and the organ is 1955 by Noel Mander, in the re-used 1731 Harris case.
Dykes Bower also built a small Parish Room to the North East of the church in 17th century style and a Georgian-style rectory, adjacent to the church, on Foster Lane in 1959, in the first floor room of which is an important mural by Hans Feibusch on the subject of Jacob and the Angel. A niche in the internal courtyard of the building contains a carved-stone head by sculptor Jacob Epstein.
The church is noted for its small but lively baroque steeple, its small secluded courtyard, stained glass, and a richly-decorated ceiling. It also has a set of six bells, cast in 1960, that are widely regarded as being the finest sounding six in London.
The church was designated a Grade I listed building on January 4, 1950. The rectory was listed as a Grade II building on July 15, 1998.
