Patrick Packingham

Categories: Execution, Religion

Patrick Packingham

Burnt at the stake in Uxbridge for his Protestant beliefs. Aged 23. He was charged with not doing deference to Romish ceremonies, and was condemned by Bishop Bonner, his cause not being heard. The Stratford memorial seems to think he was martyred at Stratford but we are persuaded that it is mistaken.
