Background

History

Newbold College of Higher Education opened in 1901 as Duncombe Hall College in Holloway, North London to train church workers and ministers. It has undergone a number of name changes. The Newbold name was taken from its Newbold Revel location to the east of Rugby, Warwickshire, during World War II. Another wartime Warwickshire location was Packwood Haugh, between Solihull and Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire. In 1945 the college purchased Moor Close, which expanded to the present-day campus. One factor for this choice was its proximity to Oxford and London. The existing campus is located near Heathrow Airport.
