Who was Thomas of Dover?
St. Thomas of Dover was a Roman Catholic regarded as a martyr by his Church.
On 2 or 5 August, 1295 the French ravaged Dover with fire and sword, and eventually attacked the Benedictine priory of St. Martin. All the inmates fled, with the exception of one, an old and infirm monk named Thomas Hales or de Halys, whom the sailors found in the dormitory, and slew for refusing to disclose the place where the treasures of the church were hidden.
