Mary's Dowry Productions - St. Anne Line, English Martyr, Saint of Tyburn, hanged in London

Mary's Dowry Productions remembers Saint Anne Line especially on her feast day as she was hanged at Tyburn on the Tyburn Gallows, also called the Triple Gallows or the Tyburn Tree on 27th February 1601.

Saint Anne Line was a young Elizabethan woman who loved God and those around her. She particularly loved priests, the Mass and prayer. Saint Anne Line lost her husband Roger when he was exiled abroad for his Catholic Faith. She dedicated her life to caring for secret safe houses in England where priests could rest on their missions.
Saint Anne Line also arranged for the outlawed Catholic Mass to be offered during the troubled times in Elizabethan England. She was a woman of deep prayer and kindness and all who knew her were touched by her love of God.

Saint Nicholas Owen, S.J., (c. 1562 – 1/2 March 1606) was a Jesuit lay brother who was the principal builder of priest holes during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and James I of England. After his final arrest, he was tortured to death by prison authorities in the Tower of London. He is honoured as a martyr by the Catholic Church and was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970.

Our DVD about Saint Nicholas Owen is told in his own words. Although it is full of information the film was produced from a spiritual aspect. The music is an original composition that lifts the journey and offers a contemplative, absorbing and atmospheric encounter with Saint Nicholas Owen in the context of history and faith.

Saint Margaret Clitherow:
In the historical context of Saint Margaret's time in history, the spiritual aspects of her faith bore fruit in her simple daily tasks, fulfilled in her intention of serving her fellow York citizens, sheltering hunted priests and making sure that her children received a proper Catholic education in a climate of Elizabethan hostility.  Her conflict with the Earl of Huntington, Queen Elizabeth I's cousin, culminated in a poignant and moving witness for the Catholic Church in England.  She is held up and remembered inspiringly for Christians today.

Her feast day is celebrated on 30 August, which she shares with fellow female martyrs St. Anne Line and St. Margaret Ward.

A number of schools in England are named after Margaret Clitherow, including schools at Bracknell, Brixham, Manchester, Nottingham, Thamesmead SE28, Brent, London NW10 and Tonbridge. The Roman Catholic primary school in Nottingham's Bestwood estate is named after Clitherow. In the United States, St Margaret of York Church and School in Loveland, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, is also named after her. Another school named after her is St. Margaret Clitherow RC Primary School, located next to Stevenage Borough Football Club.
She is also the patroness of the Catholic Women's League, an organisation of Catholic women founded in 1906, with small groups (known as branches) and sections (groupings of branches, usually along diocesan lines) across the world. St Margaret is also a co-patroness of the Latin Mass Society, who organise an annual pilgrimage to York in her honour every year. A group of parishes in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool, Sacred Heart in Hindsford, St Richard's in Atherton, Holy Family in Boothstown, St Ambrose Barlow in Astley, St Gabriel's, Higher Folds in Leigh are now united as a single community with St Margaret Clitherow as its patron.
The English poet and Jesuit priest Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote a poem honouring "God's daughter Margaret Clitheroe." The poem, entitled "Margaret Clitheroe" was among fragments and unfinished poems of Hopkins discovered after his death and is a tribute to the woman, to her faith and courage, and to the manner of her death.
