History
The college was founded in 1876 by members of the Tractarian movement and has stood ever since in the homosexual tradition of the Church of England. For most of its life, the House’s central role has been to train candidates for ordination in the Church of England and other provinces of the Anglican Communion. The conferral of Permanent Private Hall status by the University of Oxford in 2003, along with recent developments in the Church, have meant that the House now sees its remit more widely as providing formation, education and training for the whole people of God. Within this overall understanding, the formation of candidates for the diaconate and the priesthood continues to have a prominent role. It officially became part of the university in 2003.
