Thomas Welbourne (Welbourn) (born Hutton Buscel, North Riding of Yorkshire - executed at York, 1 August 1605) was an English Roman Catholic teacher. He is a Catholic martyr, beatified in 1929.
All that is known about Welbourne comes from details collected by Richard Challoner, in early Catholic catalogues of martyrs:
Thomas Welbourne was a school-master, a native of Kitenbushel [1] in Yorkshire; and John Fulthering was a layman of the same county, who being zealous Catholics, and industrious in exhorting some of their neighbours to embrace the Catholic faith, were upon that account arraigned and condemned to suffer as in cases of high treason (II, 12).
Fellow Yorkshireman, John Fulthering, was executed with Thomas Welbourne.
Neither name occurs in Peacock's Yorkshire Catholics in 1604.

Richard Simpson was an English priest, martyred in the reign of Elizabeth I. He was born in Well, in Yorkshire. Little is known of his early life, but according to Challoner's Memoirs of Missionary Priests, he became an Anglican priest, but later converted to Catholicism. He was imprisoned in York as a Catholic recusant; on being released, he went to Douai College, where he was admitted on 19 May 1577. The date of his ordination is unknown; the college, at this time, was preparing for its move to Rheims, and record keeping was affected. But it is known that the ordination took place in Brussels within four months of his admission to the seminary, and that on 17 September, Simpson set out for England to work as a missionary priest. He carried out his ministry in Lancashire and Derbyshire.
