Question

searching for martyr named Peacock probably in England about 1524

Comments

The English Martyrology mentions a priest named Peacock who gave a sermon at the martyrdom of two men named Pygot and Wolsey. This was in 1555. So probably not the same.

You might look at Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.
