Saint Nicholas Owen, known as “Little John” because of his short stature, was a master carpenter, who designed and built countless “priest holes” in England, during the Protestant revolution. He served the Jesuit priests and became a Jesuit Brother himself. St. Nicholas was captured two times and died in the Tower of London from his tortures, never revealing the hiding places he built. He is one of the 40 Martyrs of England and Wales.
