Saint Nicholas Owen: The priest hole maker and Martyr

Saint Nicholas Owen was a Catholic Jesuit layman who constructed ingenious priest holes and hiding spaces in houses throughout England during the Elizabethan and Jacobean Era to hide hunted Catholic priests. He eluded the government for many years until the turbulent time of the Gunpowder Plot when he was arrested with Fr. Henry Garnet. Saint Nicholas Owen was tortured mercilessly in the Tower of London and died under torture, refusing to give the anti-Catholic government any information. He is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. In this half an hour film, Saint Nicholas Owen tells his story. Available on DVD from Mary's Dowry Productions.
