Who was Robert Ludlam?
Robert Ludlam (born 1551) was an English priest, martyred in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. On 12 July 1588, Robert Ludlam and fellow priest Nicholas Garlick were arrested at Padley, home of Catholic recusant. The two priests were tried on 23 July 1588, were found guilty of treason, and were sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. The sentence was carried out the next day, at St. Mary's Bridge, in Derby. Ludlam’s last words were Venite benedicti Dei (Come, you blessed of God"), which he uttered just before he was thrown off the ladder.
Robert Ludlam were declared venerable in 1888, and were among the eighty-five martyrs of England and Wales beatified by Pope John Paul II on 22 November 1987
