Stonor is closely associated with St. Edmund Campion, martyred in 1581.

He was a Londoner, and a leading Oxford academic of the day, ordained a Catholic Priest and Jesuit on the Continent who had answered the call of the Pope to volunteer to work on ‘The English Mission’.

Already known to the Stonor family, he was given refuge here in 1581 to print in the greatest secrecy a pamphlet describing ‘Ten Reasons’ why the historical Catholic faith should be preferred over the teachings of the newly Established Church.

The rooms used to print this work can be seen, along with an exhibition describing St. Edmund Campion’s life and death.
