Thomas Bell (fl. 1573–1610) was an English Roman Catholic priest, and later an anti-Catholic writer. LifeHe was born at Raskelf, near Thirsk, Yorkshire, in 1551, and is said to have been beneficed as a clergyman in Lancashire. Subsequently, he became a Roman Catholic, and was imprisoned at York, around 1573. In 1576 he went to Douay College, and in 1579, when twenty-eight, entered the English College, Rome as a student of philosophy. In 1581, by then a priest, he was in the English seminary at Rome, and in the following March (1582) was sent into England. {{sfn|Sutton|1901}} In 1586 he appears as the associate of Thomas Worthington and other priests in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, and elsewhere. He was mentioned in 1592 as one ill-affected to the government, and he shared the fate of other seminary priests in being arrested. He was sent to London; but he recanted, and was sent back to Lancashire to help look for Jesuits. After this he went to Cambridge, where he began the publication of his controversial writings.{{sfn|Sutton|1901}} After leaving Catholicism he participated in the persecution of Catholics, advocating the use of the rack, leading night time searches of Catholic homes and made a list of Catholics who had previously given him money as well as Lancastrian houses where Catholicism was still practiced.[1] WorksThey include:
In his Jesuites Ante-past he states that Queen Elizabeth granted him a pension of fifty pounds a year, which James I continued.{{sfn|Sutton|1901}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.christianorder.com/features/features_2011/features_junejuly11_bonus.html |title=Blaming the Victim|publisher=Christian Order|accessdate=March 4, 2013|date=June–July 2011 }}
