PROVENANCE


From the private collection of Cecil Delisle Burns, who trained for the priesthood at the College Inglese, Via di Monserrato Rome, from 1901. Thence by descent.


Cecil Delisle Burns trained for the priesthood at the Venerabile Collegio Inglese in Rome, via  di Monserrato, from 1901. Having completed his training, he returned to England to await a Diocese, he was offered the Diocese of Brentford. However, he and several others within the Catholic Church were seen as Modernist influences and were effectively hounded out of the Church because of their refusal to conform to what they saw as outdated practices.
