an English martyr, was born in the parish of Histon, within the diocese of Ely. Because he was not prompt in his attendance at Church, he was apprehended and ordered to attend mass, which he refused to do, but instead would go into the woods, and there pray to God. For this he was brought before the bishop, and had all the articles of the Church read to him. When the bishop had finished reading, he asked Brown if he would return to the Romish Church and attend to all its services. He answered, no. He was then taken in haste to the place of execution and burned, January 27, 1556. See Fox, Acts and Monuments, 7:746.
