1988: Estimate for the provision of a Silver Chalice

P539 · Person · 1769 – 1872

Father a Bristol wine-merchant (emigrated from Mannheim, Germany, to England); mother (a Miss James from Cornwall).
At seven years old he went to Sedgley Park School in Staffordshire, and at fourteen entered his father's counting-house. After three years, he returned to Sedgley, and thence to Oscott College to study for the priesthood, and in 1820 was ordained by Bishop John Milner.

After serving the Stourbridge mission, near Oscott, for a time, he was sent to Cossey Hall, Norfolk, as chaplain to Sir George Stafford Jerningham (became Baron Stafford in 1825). He lived in residence in a cottage in the village and ministered to the Catholics of the mission from there until a few months of his death.
In over more than half a century, he is said to have been absent for only three Sundays. Seven years after his appointment to Cossey he became grand vicar under Bishop Walsh. In 1841 he opened St. Walstan's Chapel, for which he had collected funds, and in 1850 he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Rome.
Shortly after the restoration of the English hierarchy by Pope Pius IX, Husenbeth was nominated provost of the Chapter of Northampton, and Vicar-General of the diocese. In the spring of 1872 he resigned his mission, and he died at St. Walstan's Presbytery on the last day of October that year.

Between 1823 and 1849, forty-nine works written or edited by him appeared in London, Dublin, and Norwich. Many were controversial publications, written in refutation of George Stanley Faber and Joseph Blanco White, while others treated of historical, liturgical, or doctrinal matters. Perhaps his most important work is the Life of Bishop Milner, published in 1862; defective as biography, it was a contribution to the history of Catholicism on England.

In 1852 he brought out, assisted by Archbishop John Polding OSB, a new edition with abridged notes, of George Leo Haydock's illustrated Bible. The "Emblems of Saints" (1850) was one of his best original works. From time to time he printed various of his sermons which show his rhetorical style.

He contributed a large number of uncollected verses to periodicals; published articles on a great variety of subjects in different Catholic journals; was a lifelong writer in the columns of Notes and Queries (more than thirteen hundred contributions ); a voluminous letter-writer, exchanging correspondence with various literary celebrities, and with many distinguished converts of his time. Husenbeth's valuable library collection of crucifixes, reliquaries and similar objects and of letters chiefly on religious subjects, were sold at Norwich a few months after his death. Most of his letters passed into the possession of the Bishop of Northampton.

Batten, Bettina
P585 · Person · 1991-

Sculptor in Norwich; parishioner at St John the Baptist
15 July 1992: Exhibiting 35 pieces at the Assembly House, Norwich
May 1994: article in the Key: "Sculptress Bettina Batten of Norwich has just completed her interpretation of God the Father from clay and fired in a kiln. taking a classical view of God looking down from his creation, the figure is an addition to a religious collection which is winning fans for Bettina all over the country. Her figure of Mother Teresa now graces a school in Liverpool. She has completed a nativity set for her home parish of St John's in Norwich. And there are many more commissions on the way and ideas which she wants to follow up. One of the most poignant figures she has created was inspired by a remembrance card. It is Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane being comforted by an angel. Bettina has also produced a welcoming figure of Christ the King with hands outstretched to gather in his people. This is a features statue in one of the parish chapels in Norwich. The baby Jesus in one of her nativity sets was once held by one of the visionaries at Medjugorje when she visited the centre there. Many of her figures can be seen on sale in Walsingham and other places so look out for this example of home fired religious art. An early piece of Bettina's sculpture is a bust of Bishop Alan Clark which is kept iin his office in the White House. Her art developed from a hobby with Bettina taking up drawing in the early stages but developing onto sculpture later."
