Bicknell became recognized for his talent and received instruction from a teacher who had trained at London’s Royal College of Music. In 1879, Bicknell traveled alone to London, with a letter of recommendation that gained him admission to the National Training School for Music.After that he attended the Royal College of Music. While Bicknell was so far from home in England, his father worried about his moral welfare, and, in fact, his son did apparently distance himself from religion while there. A later biographical sketch by Christian Scientist William D. McCrackan states "he had drawn away from the family faith in youth and had gone out into the world to struggle for an artistic career against great odds and amidst great hardships." Bicknell and his wife joined The Mother Church (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston) in 1894. During this time a great spiritual stir was occurring in Bicknell’s family. Its members were becoming Christian Scientists. Bicknell entered the public practice of Christian Science healing around the turn of the century.In 1903 he was appointed to the Christian Science Board of Lectureship—the role for which he became best known. https://www.marybakereddylibrary.org/research/from-the-collections-a-rich-portrait-of-bicknell-young/ (2022) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHSkeyte 10/17/2013 RAHAKirkbride 11/28/2022 a4a00d5a-6e8d-47e7-88df-5b2f56068a9d
