[h-cost] OT Padley Martyrs (was What would my ancestor have worn?)
Dear Michelle, Not costume related, but the mention of Padley rang a bell with me. Lower down on the website you mentioned, http://www.padley.catholicweb.com/ , is an account of the Padley Martyrs. Here in Derby we have one of the few remaining Bridge Chapels (where travellers used to pray), close by St. Mary's Bridge where the Martyrs were executed. They are supposed to have spent their last night there. It is now administered by Derby Cathedral, where I worship, and a joint Anglican/Catholic commemoration of the Padley Martyrs is held every year. http://www.derbycathedral.org/st_marys.asp Kate Bunting Librarian & 17th century reenactor _ The University of Derby has a published policy regarding email and reserves the right to monitor email traffic.

Bridge Chapel House is now either owned or rented by the Derbyshire Family History Society - they do have open days. It is also open a few days every week for members to research their archives. I've been there a few times, it's a lovely old building with lots of nooks and crannies.
