Me too. hano and I have just been discussing this and agreeing that St Benedict's Ealing fits the bill most, though we might have to relocate it for Patrick to commute easily. The diocese did run some good schools and in some ways Cardinal Vaughan would fit (esp round the matey reforming teachers - all lay) but I do struggle a bit to see the Merricks sending their son there.
But really we think he would have gone to Ampleforth.
