THE MARTYR'S PIPE
CATHOLIC PILGRIMAGE TO WELSH VILLAGE. Impressive scenes were witnessed at Welsh Newton, a village some miles from Monmouth, on the occasion of the 246th annual pilgrimage of Roman Catholics to the tomb of the Venerable Father John Kemble, a priest whowas put to death in 16/9. Catholics attended from South Wales and parts of Herefordshire and other places. Father Kemble was accused of being implicated in the Titus Oates plot, and, though, eighty years of age, was taken on horseback to London, sentenced to be hanged, and was put to death at Hereford. His last wish was to smoko a peaceful nine with his gaoler.
