The Bede is named after Saint Bede, Whose statue stands in the entrance hall. The statue made of Chestnut wood, from a 150 year old tree Which stood in the grounds of Durham Cathedral and was a gift to the college in 2001.
The College was set up in 1852, originally for convert Anglican priest as a course of 4 years formation. Whilst its form has somewhat changed, with students coming now from all over the English speaking world it has retained its Vatican approval for a 4 year course, tailored for older men joining the priesthood. The only course of its kind.
