Baddesley Bites - Breakfast Talks - The raid at Baddesley Clinton - What happened next?
We are holding a variety of talks in the Restaurant at Baddesley Clinton exploring different aspects of Baddesley's history from treason to high society.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
This talk will tell the astonishing stories of the men and women closely associated with the Baddesley raid of October 1591, when the lives of 7 priests meeting in the house were saved thanks to the priest hide you can still see at Baddesley today.
But what happened next? The raid was the start of 15 years of incredible bravery, strength and religious commitment from all those involved, and led to many of them being implicated in an event which shaped England for centuries to come – the Gunpowder Plot.
As the authorities clamped down ever harder on Catholics, we will see what happened to the priests themselves, the priest hide builder, and to the people of Baddesley. It’s a story of suspense, incredible escapes, inspired luck, and of events, and people, of huge national significance, with two of those involved at Baddesley being canonized as Saints in 1970.
