EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "John Kettlewell, Non-juring Clergyman and Writer (1653-1695)" John Kettlewell, a prominent figure in English history, is depicted in this evocative oval print. Born in 1653, Kettlewell was a Non-juring clergyman and a prolific writer during the tumultuous period of the English Revolution. His dark, long, wavy hair frames a thoughtful face, adorned with a serious expression. During the late 17th century, England experienced significant political and religious upheaval. After the execution of King Charles I in 1649, the Commonwealth was established under Oliver Cromwell's rule. However, following Cromwell's death in 1658, the monarchy was briefly restored under the short-lived reign of King Richard Cromwell. In 1660, the monarchy was fully restored with the return of King Charles II, who issued the Act of Uniformity, forcing all clergy to conform to the Church of England. Those who refused, like Kettlewell, were labeled Non-jurors. Kettlewell's commitment to his religious beliefs led him to defy the Act of Uniformity and continue celebrating the Mass in secret. He was eventually arrested and imprisoned, but his resolve remained unwavering. During his time in prison, he wrote extensively, producing numerous theological and historical works. One of his most famous works, "The History of the Non-jurors," chronicled the lives and struggles of the Non-juring clergy. Despite the challenges he faced, Kettlewell's dedication to his faith and his writing left a lasting impact on English history. This print, with its intricate detail and somber tone, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and conviction of this remarkable man.
