Foundation

The school was founded in 1853 by Dr. John Propert as The Royal Medical Benevolent College, the aims of which were to provide accommodation pensioned medical doctors or their widows in the first instance, and to provide a "liberal education" to 100 sons of "duly qualified medical men" for £25 each year.[7] 1853 was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ...

By 1851, the Medical Benevolent Society had limited itself to the foundation of a single Benevolent College, and met in Treasurer John Propert's house in New Cavendish Street, Marylebone.[11] The new campaign's fundraising activities included dinners, which were attended by numerous doctors and Members of Parliament, and concerts, for example on 4 July 1855 one such event included composer Hector Berlioz conducting the UK premier of his symphonic suite Harold in Italy.[12][13] Type Bicameral Houses House of Commons House of Lords Speaker of the House of Commons Michael Martin MP Speaker of the House of Lords Hélène Hayman, PC Members 1377 (646 Commons, 731 Peers) Political groups Labour Party Conservative Party Liberal Democrats Scottish National Party Plaid Cymru Democratic Unionist...

The foundation stone was laid on the 6 July 1853, and almost two years later on 25 June 1855 the College was formally opened by Prince Albert and his son, the future King Edward VII in front of an unexpectedly large crowd of around 6,000.[14] Queen Victoria consented in March of that year to become patron, a relationship which has continued with British monarchs ever since; King Edward VII after the death of his mother, King George V, King Edward VIII in 1936,[15] King George VI from 1937,[16] and then the current Queen until the present. 1853 was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ...

Development & Charity

It was founded in 1855 to provide support for poor members of the medical profession. Funding for such a bold undertaking was to prove inadequate to the task, which resulted in the a reduced number of buildings and therefore reduced space which could not support 100 pensioners and 100 boys. Partially as a result of this in the 1860s the school was opened to children of non-medical parents. In the subsequent decades pensioners were supported off-site, until there were none on campus by the end of the 19th Century. These moves mark the transition towards the College becoming a public school in the modern sense.

There continued to be a charitable side to the College, however, which was intertwined with the strictly educational institution throughout the 20th Century. It was only in 2000 that the Royal Medical Foundation was formed as a separate company, its activities allowing it to support 4 Foundationers at the College, 27 outside it, in addition to paying 20 pensions and supporting one doctor at a medical home.[17] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 × 491 pixelsFull resolution (977 × 600 pixel, file size: 90 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Graph displaying number of pupils at Epsom College 1860-2006. ...

In the 1920s the junior school-side of the college was run down, the College catering only for 13-18 year olds as a result. In 1976 Girls were first allowed into the sixth-form, and 20 years later co-education was introduced throughout.


Its campus is situated on the outskirts of Epsom, near to Epsom Downs on the North Downs, the racecourse of which is most famous for holding the Epsom Derby every year. The architecture principally consists of buildings built since 1853 mainly in a style influenced by the Gothic revival of the era and by what Prince Albert described as the "pointed style of the 14th Century"[18] Epsom Downs is a grade-one racecourse near Epsom, Surrey, United Kingdom. ...

Eccentricities

The Athletics Term

Until the winter of 1965, Epsom College was probably unique in holding athletics in the coldest months of the year, between January and April. This meant that the long jump pit was often frozen. The track surrounded the First XV pitch, and was either frozen or waterlogged.


Air Raid Shelters

During the Second World War, in preparation for the possibility of attack from the air, several air raid shelters were built, the outlines of which are still visible in aerial photographs and satellite imagery as a row of negative cropmarks in the grass on the Chapel Triangle. Cropmarks or Crop marks are a form of archaeological feature visible from the air. ...


The Fives Courts

Near Chapel Pitch, there are the remnants of several open air fives courts, one of which is said to be a doubles court. In the late 1960s these were functional courts, albeit of odd design. Fives is a British sport believed to derive from the same origins as many racket sports. ...

Its tyres were punctured and there was no way of moving it. With no time to take precautions, he rammed a round down the spout and fired it; luckily, he was not wounded in the subsequent explosion. Having found the three-ton truck that had been used to tow the gun, he set fire to his motorcycle, loaded 30 wounded men into the lorry and set off to rejoin his troop. As Nash drove, the men on board shot at everything they saw, distracting the Japanese sufficiently to enable them to get through a barrage of small arms fire.
