Bradfield launches latest College History in preparation for 175 anniversary
2025 will be the 175th anniversary of the founding of Bradfield College. To mark this substantial milestone in the College’s history we will be giving major College events next academic year a special 175 theme. This will culminate in a celebration of Bradfieldian performers across the generations in our College and Alumni Gala evening on Thursday 26th June 2025 in the Greek Theatre. More details of our special events calendar and of other initiatives to mark this anniversary will follow in due course.
In advance of these celebrations, the College is delighted to launch a new history of the College, Bradfield College: ‘Prosperity Past our Deserving’. This volume reconsiders the years previously examined by Leach and Blackie and tells the story of the last 50 years for the first time. Like its precursors, this new history is written by a member of teaching staff, Stuart Williams whose career spans many of the years it narrates.
Illustrated with over 30 photographs of the current College, this is the first history of the College in half a century and tells the College’s story, from the intent of its founder to the present day and shows how the College has evolved, but never abandoned the educational principles once articulated by Rev.Thomas Stevens.
This book is available to purchase for £35 plus postage and packing or is also available for collection from the College.
