Stephen Rowsham was a 16th-century English Catholic priest who was executed for his faith. Born in Oxfordshire around 1555, he studied at Oriel College, Oxford, before traveling to the English College in Reims in 1581. Following his ordination, he returned to England as part of a missionary effort. After facing imprisonment in the Tower of London and being held in the Little Ease dungeon, he was eventually executed in Gloucester on April 3, 1587.
