Rowland Taylor (October 6, 1510 - February 9, 1555) was an English martyr during the Marian Persecutions. He was born in Northumberland, England, and died at Hadleigh. At the time of his death he was Rector, or Anglican parish priest of a small parish in a (now) small market town called Hadleigh (also spelled Hadley). Taylor provided pastoral leadership for several parishes in the English county of Suffolk. He was Queen Mary's third auto-de-fe, among 250 or so during her five year reign, as she attempted to bring the Counter Reformation to England. His sentence was execution by burning at the stake, the common method of punishment for dealing with heretics in the 16th century. However, Taylor is viewed by Protestants as one of their great Christian martyrs.
