Newbold College was founded in 1901 as Duncombe Hall College in Holloway, North London to train church workers and ministers. It has undergone many name changes since. The Newbold name was taken from its Newbold Revel location to the east of Ruby, Warwickshire, during the War. Another War time Warwickshire location was Packwood House, between Solihull and Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire. In 1945 the College purchased Moor Close, the first acquisition of what would become the present-day campus. One factor for this choice was its proximity to Oxford and London. Coincidentally, Heathrow Airport was later built nearby.
