Sacred Catholic Objects Seeking New Home: A Window into England’s Rich Recusant History

National Catholic Register, Edward Pentin:

Valuable sacred Catholic artifacts, including papal slippers, a rosary of Marie Antoinette, and a Book of Hours belonging to a martyred courtier to King Henry VIII, are part of a treasure trove of significant objects found at the home of one of England’s oldest Catholic families.

The Constable-Maxwell family who reside at Bosworth Hall, a stately home in the heart of rural Leicestershire in central England, have safeguarded these sacred objects, testament to England’s rich Catholic heritage that survived the almost-300-year recusant period of persecution following the Reformation.
