theological college
in Cuddesdon
, a village 5.5 miles (8.9 km) outside Oxford
, England
.
Samuel Wilberforce
, Bishop of Oxford
founded Cuddesdon College in 1854 as the Oxford Diocesan Seminary to train graduates from Oxford
and Cambridge
. It quickly became known as Cuddesdon College. The college buildings, most of them designed by G.E. Street
, were built opposite the Bishop's Palace. Traditionally "Cuddesdon", as it is commonly known, was in the Catholic
tradition of the Church of England
.
Ripon Hall was founded in Ripon
, Yorkshire
in 1897 or 1898. It was originally a hostel for theological students, known as Bishop's College, founded by the then Bishop of Ripon, William Boyd Carpenter
. In 1902 it was merged with Lightfoot Hall, Birmingham and became known as Ripon Clergy College. In 1919 the college moved from Ripon to a site in Parks Road
, Oxford
and was renamed Ripon Hall. There it became known as a liberal Anglican
college. In 1933 Ripon Hall moved again, to a house then known as Berkeley House at Boars Hill
near Oxford, the former home of the 8th Earl of Berkeley. The college remained there until the merger with Cuddesdon in 1975, when the site, renamed Foxcombe Hall, became the regional headquarters of the Open University
.
. Nowadays, Cuddesdon students come from across the spectrum of the Church of England but it remains a predominaltly liberal catholic institution. It maintains a regular and disciplined approach to prayer, and seeks to train students in a modern critical approach to the Christian tradition of the Church of England. Recently the part-time Oxford Ministry Course has been integrated as part of the college.
When Robert Runcie retired from the archbishopric he took the title Baron Runcie of Cuddesdon.
