It is generally accepted that St. Cecilia never existed (see V.L.
Kennedy, The Saints of the Canon of the Mass [2nd ed, 1963] pp.183-8.)
Her titular church is named after the foundress. (The titular chuches
were named after their founders. Later, they were married up with saints
of the same name - real or imagined.) The Church of England, needless to
say, is in a quandry (M. Perham, The Communion of Saints [Alcuin Club
Collections, no. 62 1980] p.141.)
