| Description |
English: Saint David Lewis, Bettws, Newport Roman Catholic church of the corner of Brookside and Monnow Way.
David Lewis was born at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in 1616. He was raised as a Protestant, but aged 16, while visiting Paris, he was reconciled to the Catholic Church. Subsequently, he went to study in Rome, where in 1642, he was ordained as a priest. Three years later he became a Jesuit. In 1647, he returned home and, for over thirty years, worked in South Wales where the Jesuits maintained two remote farmhouses, which also functioned as a shelter for hunted priests. David Lewis was arrested in November 1678, at Llantarnam in Monmouthshire. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/904655 He was condemned as a Roman Catholic priest and for saying Catholic masses, in contravention of the Treason Act. He was hanged, drawn and quartered on August 27 1679 at Usk, Monmouthshire. David Lewis was canonised by Pope Paul VI in 1970 as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. |
