Westcott House is an Anglican theological college in the heart of Cambridge, preparing men and women from Britain and around the world for ordination to the diaconate and priesthood. The College began its life in 1881 as the Cambridge Clergy Training School whose first president was the then Regius Professor of Divinity, Brooke Foss Westcott. His portrait by William Blake Richmond is one of the two portraits owned by Westcott House. A pioneering and respected New Testament scholar himself, the school was the product of Westcott's own passionate concern to raise the standard of clergy education and so took the name of its founder in 1905. Over the years the vision has evolved and changed with the times. Nonetheless, in significant ways Westcott House keeps the theological and ecclesiastical vision of its founder alive. The other portrait owned by the College is that of Reverend B. K.Cunningham, who was Principal from 1919–1943. It is stressed that the paintings at Westcott House are not in public ownership. In accordance with the charitable aims of the College, which is a private institution, we are including our paintings on this website to widen public awareness and for the benefit of scholarship.
