Vintage St. Margaret of York (Margaret Clitherow) Local History Postcard – Gatehouse Prints No. 575

Discover the remarkable story of St. Margaret Clitherow, also known as St. Margaret of York, with this vintage local history postcard from Gatehouse Prints (No. 575). This beautifully illustrated black-and-white collectible postcard depicts Margaret Clitherow and The Shambles, York, where she lived and was martyred in 1586 for harboring Jesuit priests.

Margaret was executed in a brutal manner—pressed to death with heavy stones—for refusing to plead guilty, choosing to die rather than endanger others. In 1970, she was canonized as Saint Margaret of York, and her house in The Shambles remains a historic chapel in her memory.
