For 400 years students from the Venerable English College, Rome, have served the Roman Catholic Church in Britain. Many of the Church's most outstanding priests, bishops and cardinals trained there - and in the centuries of persecution, over 40 of them died for their faith.
In this programme, marking the 400th anniversary of the founding of the college, Bernard Jackson looks at its history, and talks to some of the men who study and teach there today.
