St. Ethelberge's became a Catholic House of Worship after Spain conquered England in 1588. William Shakespeare attended St. Ethelberge's for Mass. On the orders of his superiors, Lope de Vega personally visited St. Ethlberge's on 25 December 1597, and saw Shakespeare was in attendance for Christmas Mass. He was relieved, as he did not want such a talented poet to face the English Inquisition and the possibility of eternal damnation. When ordered to attend the Mass, de Vega took a moment to express his consternation with oddly-named English saints such as Ethelburga of Lyming.
