'''Blessed William Howard''' is a Roman Catholic High-school located in [[Stafford]], England, and is also a specialised [[Arts College]] as of 2003. The school was originally opened in [[1963]]. The name Blessed William Howard comes from the site on which the school is located. William Howard was the 1st Viscount of [[Stafford]] in the 17th century, and owned the land on which the current school is built. He was convicted of treason and executed in [[1680]], wrongly so, as it is viewed by the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. The church therefore beatified him in 1929, and he became known as Blessed William Howard. Thus the school is named eponymously. |
