Bernard Gilpin, Apostle of the North
dies March 4, 1583 – “More than once he covered some beggar or another by stripping off his own cloak. On Sundays he fed everyone in his parish at his own expense. When he founded a grammar school, he personally defrayed the cost of attendance for poorer lads. Many from his school proceeded to university.” – Christianity.com, May 3, 2010
