==Life==
Born about 1485, Robert Lawrence was a graduate of Cambridge. After joining the Carthusians, in 1531, he succeeded John Houghton as Prior of the Beauvale Charterhouse, Nottinghamshire, when Houghton was appointed Prior of the London Charterhouse.〔("Saint Robert Lawrence", English Martyrs Parish )〕
By February 1535 Parliament declared that everyone had to take the Oath of Supremacy, declaring Henry to be Supreme head of the Church of England.〔("History of Beauvale", The Beauvale Society )〕 Robert went with John Houghton to see Thomas Cromwell, who had them arrested and placed in the Tower of London. When they refused to sign the Oath of Supremacy, they were hung, drawn and quartered at Tyburn, making them among the first Carthusian martyrs in England.
Beatified in 1886, Robert was canonized by Pope Paul VI with thirty-nine other martyrs on 25 October 1970.〔
