College History

Homerton College is rooted in non-conformity from its earliest origins in the capital city in 1695. It has always challenged received traditions, adapting them to successive social and cultural change. A ‘dissenting academy’ in the early modern age, it trained clergy to spread a new gospel at home and abroad. In the industrial age it educated men and women for teaching children nationwide, in 1894 founding a new college in Cambridge for this purpose.
