The English College of SS. Peter and Paul at Lisbon (or, as it is more commonly known, Lisbon College) was founded by Pedro Coutinho in 1624 as a college for English students training for the priesthood and mission work in England. As a
pontifical college it was awarded the same privileges and rights as other colleges centrally controlled by Rome, such as the English College in Rome, whose aim was the maintenance of the Catholic faith in England, Scotland and Ireland. The driving
force behind the college in its early years was William Newman. Although he was never to become president, Newman founded the college from property entrusted by the estate of the late Nicholas Ashton, a Catholic chaplain in Lisbon. Initial progress
was slow until the arrival of a group of English students and teachers from the English College at Douai in 1628. The first president, albeit briefly, was Archdeacon Joseph Haynes who died the following year. The reputation of the college as a
centre of academic excellence and its relevance as an English institution in Lisbon attracted patronage from varied sources during the seventeenth century, including Pedro da Costa and Maria de Oliveira Leitoa who transferred important funds to the
College in exchange for daily masses for their special intention. In 1679, Pope Innocent XI granted the College the privilege of being considered as a High Altar of Christ on the Cross. In spite of its wealthy benefactors and papal patronage, the
college faced a number of challenges in the following centuries. In 1755, Lisbon was shaken by a terrible earthquake in which 20,000 people died and 60,000 houses and 60 palaces and convents were destroyed. The college suffered badly both in terms
of the physical devastation of its buildings and the mental well-being of many of its students and superiors who, like most of the population of Lisbon, chose to live under tents in the gardens of the college rather than risk being inside in fear of
another quake. The college suffered another setback when it was occupied by French forces during Napoleon's invasion of Portugal in 1807 and, just days before the second French invasion, the president decided to close the college down, with all
students being sent to an Anglo-Portuguese school in England until the war ended in 1814. The college was finally closed in 1973. Since the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Act in Britain in 1829, the college's raison d'etre had ceased to exist
although it's high reputation as a teaching and training establishment enabled it to survive for another 144 years.
The Lisbon Correspondence is perhaps the most comprehensive collection in the Lisbon Archive, documenting the history of the college from its foundation in 1621 until its later years in the mid-twentieth century. The correspondence, mostly
letters to the president of the time, is chiefly valuable for providing an insight into the process of recruitment for the college during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with many letters from English bishops, priests and laymen making
recommendations of suitable prospective students. The letters also cover a wide range of other subjects relating to college affairs, including: the negotiations surrounding the foundation of the college; college finances, legacies, and property
agreements; college life, including teaching and student discipline; the Bridgettine nuns of Syon Abbey. There are also references in many letters to the wider political situation in Portugal and its effect on the college.
Another, perhaps unexpected, strength of the collection is the information it provides on the development of English Catholic missions during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Many Lisbonians, once ordained, were stationed in missions
throughout England. They regularly provided reports of their progress to the president of the college, describing their experiences in often hostile surroundings. On the one hand, many were notably successful in the establishment of their missions,
building chapels and schools, and encouraging conversions. On the other, they often experienced difficulties in financing church building enterprises, as well as having to combat the ingrained anti-Catholicism of the local Protestant clergymen and
population at large. There is also a wealth of information on all aspects of the ecclesiastical administration of the Catholic Church in England, particularly the attempts of the clergy and episcopacy to persuade Rome to restore the hierarchy.
Lisbon College closed in 1973 and this collection, along with the rest of the Lisbon Archive and Library, was transferred to Ushaw College by Mgr James Sullivan the following year.
The pre-1918 correspondence is available for consultation. Correspondence after 1918 has been closed by the Lisbonian Society who own the collection.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from the Lisbonian Society and, where appropriate, from the copyright owner. The Library will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners,
but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material
The letters and other papers follow the original arrangement of the collection which is broadly chronological.
