Edward Oldcorne was a 16th-century Jesuit priest from York who served the Catholic mission in the West Midlands of England. After his training in Reims and Rome, he spent many years working covertly in Worcestershire, often finding refuge in houses like Hindlip Hall. Although he was caught up in investigations following the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot, he was not proven to be a conspirator. He was eventually executed at Red Hill in 1606, and he is recognized as a blessed martyr in the Catholic Church.
