Blessed Robert Nutter

Blessed Robert Nutter was the brother of Blessed John Nutter. He was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, England in the mid-1560s. Drawn to the Catholic faith, he entered the seminary at the English College in Rheims, France, and was ordained at Soissons on December 21, 1581. He returned to England with Blessed George Haydock to minister secretly to persecuted Catholics. Robert worked for two years before being arrested, imprisoned, and eventually condemned for the crime of being a Catholic priest in England. He was martyred for his faith, joining the ranks of the English and Welsh martyrs who gave their lives during the Reformation era.
