Biography

Blessed William Horne, also known as William Horn or William Horne, was a devout Carthusian lay brother and a resident of the Charterhouse in London, England during the reign of King Henry VIII. He is remembered as one of the Carthusian Martyrs, a group of monks who were martyred for their refusal to accept Henry VIII as the head of the Church.
