The English College at Lisbon: 1622 - 1972



I am pleased to announce that after a long five years, the script has finally been finished for the one of the lesser known components of the English Catholic missionary infrastructure, the English College of SS. Peter and Paul in Lisbon. The College was founded in 1622 under the pontificate of Pope Gregory XV and under the Protection of the Dominican Inquisitor Generals of Portugal. It's distinctly secular foundation and constitution made it unique amongst all the other colleges in the Diaspora. I shall not reveal too much more... I have the Daily Mail weekly column to consider in the run up to its publication!

Available in all good book shops very soon.
