During the 16th and 17th centuries, Catholics in England fled to various places to escape persecution. One destination was the English colony of Maryland in North America, which was founded as a haven for Catholics. Other Catholics sought refuge in countries such as France, Spain, and the Netherlands, where they could freely practice their faith. Some also went to the English countryside or hid in private homes to avoid persecution.
