No Old Testament figures are commemorated in the Church of England calendar, but the litany "Thanksgiving for the Holy Ones of God" (included in Common Worship: Times and Seasons on pp. 558–560, immediately after "The Eucharist of All Saints") includes ten names from before Christ, so they are presumably not excluded on principle, and could be considered among the saints. In England, these martyrs were formerly commemorated within the Catholic Church by a feast day on 25 October, which is also the feast of Saints Crispin and Crispinian, but they are now celebrated together with all the 284 canonized or beatified martyrs of the English Reformation on 4 May. [8] The reformers were therefore deeply hostile to the belief that the especially holy dead could hear our requests in heaven and serve as intercessors in times of need. They were deeply averse to the practice of venerating the images of saints as though those images contained, represented, or localized the saint's numinous being. However, there has been something of a vogue in recent decades for observing how some of the cultural needs that the medieval church had supplied were not entirely abolished in the changes of the Reformation. Sixteenth-century Protestants were still living in an emphatically premodern world. It may, therefore, be suggestive, or even helpful, to speculate as to what the Protestant successors to the saints may have looked like. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q Foxe's Book of Martyrs: 370: Persecution in Lichfield and Chichester.

Roger Ashton, soldier, 23 June 1592 – assisted Sir William Stanley in the surrender of Deventer to SpainThe Archbishop of Westminster, then Cardinal William Godfrey, sent a description of 24 seemingly miraculous cases to the Sacred Congregation. Out of 20 candidate cases for recognition as answered prayers, the alleged cure of a young mother from a malignant tumor was selected as the clearest case. In light of the fact that Thomas More and John Fisher, belonging to the same group of Martyrs, had been canonized with a dispensation from miracles, Pope Paul VI, after discussions with the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints, considered that it was possible to proceed with the Canonization on the basis of one miracle.
