Saint's skull found during renovations
The skull of Saint Ambrose Barlow, a Catholic martyr executed in 1641 for refusing to conform to the state religion, was discovered during renovations at Wardley Hall and is now kept on display there. Barlow was captured after a secret mass, tried for treason, and executed, with his skull used as a warning to others. The relic was later confirmed through forensic tests and officially became part of Catholic history after Barlow's canonization as a saint.
