Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey

(1621-1678), Magistrate

Sitter in 14 portraits
Magistrate; in 1678 Titus Oates delivered into his hands the tale of a 'Popish Plot', and soon after Godfrey was found murdered in a ditch near Hampstead; the murder was blamed on Roman Catholic priests, and anti-Papist feeling in the country reached fever-pitch; three men were hanged for Godfrey's murder on perjured evidence.
