Ambassador College - Bricket Wood, UK Campus (1960-1974)

Bricket Wood, UK Campus (1960-1974)

The Bricket Wood campus operated for 14 years on the former estate of Sir David Yule several miles north of London. There are a variety of speculations as to why Bricket Wood closed. In Europe, this "denomination" is seen as a capitalist sect. While funding was given as a primary reason, others speculate that it was due to a fallout among the Worldwide Church of God ministry in the United Kingdom. Leading administrators on the campus included Ernest L. Martin, Roderick C. Meredith, Ronald L. Dart, and Raymond F. McNair. The Bricket Wood campus was acquired by The Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) and used as a management training facility. The Bricket Wood campus was sold shortly after its closure. The athletic facilities are open for public use and the campus proper is used as a corporate training centre.

The HSBC corporate training facility closed 23rd December 2011 after 17 years on the site.
