A Wonderful Rare And Seldom Seen Antique Carved Corbel Of The English Catholic Martyr Margaret Clitheroe. Likely 16th-17th Century.
Margaret Clitheroe (1556-1586) was an English Catholic martyr executed for secretly harbouring priests under Elizabeth I Protestant rule. A convert to Catholicism, she provided refuge for clergy and educated her children in the faith. Arrested in 1586, she refused to plead to protect her family and was pressed to death by heavy stones. Canonised in 1970 as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, she is honoured in York, where her home remains a shrine.
Condition is good, commensurate with age. Structurally sound.
