Thurston Hunt

The Blessed Thurston Hunt (executed March 1601 at Lancaster) was an English Roman Catholic priest. He was tried and executed with the Blessed Robert Middleton, also a priest. They were declared to be martyrs by the Catholic Church, and beatified in 1987, by Pope John Paul II.

A contemporary sang of

Hunt's hawtie corage staut,

With godlie zeale soe true,

Myld Middleton, O what tongue

Can halfe thy vertue showe!
