At the little church of St. Robert’s at Catforth in the Fylde of Lancashire is preserved a remarkable collection of relics of penal times. The most important is a human head, so often referred to as a ‘skull’ that I shall use the terms here quite indiscriminately, though it still contains, even in its decayed and mutilated state, many parts over and above those of a mere skull. The next most important is a small missal of 1570, on the fly-leaf of which was once inserted a reference to ‘our martyr’. These two items are, as I believe, the only ones likely to be of positive use in reconstructing the case. But with them is preserved a whole collection of other articles in the form of Mass-vestments, altar-cloths, linen, etc., dating variously from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries, a number of which bear yellow or brown stains.
