Lived 1537 – 1585 (aged 47–48). John Almond was a catholic monk.
John Almond (c.1509 – 18 April 1585) was a Cistercian monk. He is commemorated as a Confessor of the Faith in the Roman Catholic Church, and his name has been included in the supplementary process of the English Martyrs.
He came from Cheshire, and was a monk in the time of Henry VIII, but neither his abbey nor his fate during and after its suppression have been identified.
He died in prison on 18 April 1585; he was about 76 years old. According to John Hungerford Pollen, the old priest "...after many sufferings in prison, was left in extreme age to pine away under a neglect that was revolting."
