John Almond
John Almond was a Cistercian monk. He is commemorated as a Confessor of the Faith in the Roman Catholic Church, and his name has been included in the supplementary process of the English Martyrs.
He came from Cheshire, and was a monk in the time of Henry VIII, but neither his abbey nor his fate during and after its suppression have been identified.
He died in prison at Hull Castle under Elizabeth I, 18 April, 1585. The sufferings amid which he closed his days are set forth in a relation printed by Foley.
