The merry month of May approaches, and with it the commemoration of the martyrs who died at Tyburn. This is a great annual event, walking the route that the martyrs would have taken from Newgate Prison to the Tyburn Tree, stopping off at a few key churches and finishing with Benediction at Tyburn Convent.We start at St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate (diagonally across from the Old Bailey) at 2:30pm on Sunday 4th May. We stop at St. Etheldreda's, Ely Place, then St. Cecilia's, Lincoln's Inn Fields, and then St. Patrick's, Soho Square - where we also have a blessing with the relics of St. Oliver Plunkett and (I think... though I may have remembered it incorrectly) St. Cuthbert Mayne.
Benediction at Tyburn is some time between 5:30pm - 6pm depending on how quickly people walk!

Thanks for this.
You could also add that one can attend mass in the same form as the priest martyrs celebrated it at St. James' Spanish Place at 9.30am on Sundays too.
That if you haven't arranged mass somewhere else...
Shame I can't be there. I hope you have a great afternoon.
