Henry Walpole was a 16th-century English Jesuit priest and theologian who was executed in York for his religious convictions. Born in Docking in 1558, he initially studied law but became a priest following the execution of Edmund Campion. After undergoing training in Rome and France, he served as a military chaplain for Catholic refugees in the Netherlands. His mission to support English seminaries eventually led to his arrest in Yorkshire, resulting in his death for refusing to acknowledge the monarch's religious supremacy.
