Edward Hawarden

Edward Hawarden (Harden) (9 April 1662 – 23 April 1735) was an English Roman Catholic theologian and controversialist. Hawarden was born in Lancashire, England. His family were recusants who maintained domestic chapels in their residences in Appleton and Widnes. Edward, after a course at the English College, Douai, remained there as a classical tutor, and after his ordination (7 June 1686), as professor of philosophy. Dr. Hawarden received the thanks of the University of Oxford for his defence of the Blessed Trinity in the famous conference with Dr. Samuel Clarke (1719). He died, aged 73, in London. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Hawarden

The loyalty to the Faith that came to be a heritage among the Hawardens is testified by their maintenance of domestic chapels in their residences in Appleton and Widnes throughout the period of persecution, as well as the frequent appearance of the name on the list of non-jurors and the recusant-rolls. Edward, after a brilliant course at the English College, Douai remained there as a classical tutor, and after his ordination (7 June, 1686), as professor of philosophy. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Edward_H...

The family of which Edward Hawarden was such a dis- tinguished ornament, was descended from the Hawardens, of Hawarden, co. Flint, now the seat of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone. In the 15 th century, this family, or a branch of it, migrated to Woolston, in Lancashire, and intermarried in suc- cessive generations with the leading families of their adopted county. In the 16th century, one of the family acquired the estate of Fenilstreet, in Appleton-with-Widnes, in marriage with the heiress of the Appletons, and from that time the Hawardens resided there until, towards the close of the last cen- tury, the family merged into that of Fazakerley, and ultimately into that of the Gillibrands, of Fazakerley House and Gillibrand Hall. The mansion of Fenilstreet contained a domestic chapel, in the upper part of the house, and there, or in one of the other residences of the family in Appleton and Widnes, a priest was maintained for the benefit of the Catholics of the neighbour- hood during the whole period of persecution. Ed. Hawarden's cousin, Rev. Wm. Hawarden, alias Mere, died at Lower House, Widnes, and was succeeded by Rev. Thos. Hawarden. In 1750 a public chapel was opened in Appleton, replaced by a new church in 1847, erected at a cost of .£4000. The Rev. Henry Gillow was here from 1821 to his death in 1849.. Another church was opened at Widnes in 1865. http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/joseph-gillow/a-literary-and-...
