Cambridge, England - U. K - Chestnut College: Chestnut College is among a list of dissenting academies, English and Welsh educational institutions run by Dissenters to provide an education, and often a vocational training as a minister of religion, outside the Church of England. It runs from the English Restoration of 1660, which created a parallel educational system as a side-effect, to the end of the 18th century. Cheshunt College from 1792-1906 resided in Trefeca. In 1906 moved to Cheshunt College, Cambridge. Westminster College in Cambridge is a theological college of the United Reformed Church. Its principal purpose is training for the ordination of ministers but is also used more widely for training within the denomination. The college was founded in London in 1844 with a temporary home in the Exeter Hall before moving to permanent premises in Queen\'s Square, London in 1859. It then moved to Cambridge in 1899 following the gift of a prime site of land near the center of the city by two Scottish sisters, Agnes Smith Lewis and Margaret Dunlop Gibson, both noted biblical scholars. Following an appeal for funds from the wider Presbyterian congregation, the college commissioned a new building designed by Henry Hare and built between 1897–1899. In 1967 the college began to amalgamate with Cheshunt College, Cambridge, presaging the union of the Congregational and Presbyterian churches to form the United Reformed Church in 1972. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) is in good condition. F. Firth & Co. Reigate. No. 73522.
