Brooke House College

Introduction

The history of the main campus' beautiful Georgian building is shown above in the Elms document. Brooke House College's involvement at the site started when the former Collegiate School moved from the main High Street in 1957 into what was then The Elms. After permission had been sought and granted from the Brooke and de Capell Brooke family for the new school to adopt the name 'Brooke', and The Elms was re-named Brooke House, the Collegiate School became Brooke House College. The school was bought by Mr Charles Lister and his wife, but it struggled financially and was eventually bought by Mr Donald Williams and Mrs Joan Williams, who founded the new Brooke House College in 1967-68 academic year. To mark the anniversary, the school celebrated its 50th anniversary with events around the world involving its alumni.
