Biography
Blessed Francis Ingleby, also known as Francesco, was born around 1550 in Ripley, Yorkshire, England. He studied at Rheims, France, and on 21 March 1581, he was ordained as a Catholic priest. Shortly after his ordination, he returned to England in April 1581, when Catholics were facing severe persecution under Queen Elizabeth I's reign.
