Thanks Geoff,
google found it for me and answered the questions, thanks

History
The College was founded as 'Prospect College' in 1829 by the Bible Christian
Church and reformed as 'Shebbear College in 1841. The second-oldest
Methodist school in Britain, the College was originally formed for the sons
of Bible Christians to train for the ministry. Edgehill College, founded for
Methodist girls in nearby Bideford in 1884, is considered the College's
'sister-college'. The College became co-education in the 1930s. In 1993, the
school's closure was announced but the decision was subsequently reversed.


The College Today....etc.....

Warren
