The College was established in 1852 by the Church of England for the training of women teachers, who like their brothers, "would go out to the schools in the service of humanity, lay priests to the poor, moved by Christian Charity". It closed in 1978. There is a very extensive collection of documents about the college at HALS (reference with useful history).

It is now a boarding school Hockerill Anglo-European College
