Current Use
The College Gatehouse was acquired in 1907 by the National Trust, and is currently on a 100 year lease to Holy Trinity Church. It is managed by the Church as a local meeting place, and is regularly used by the Church youth groups, as well as the local Air Cadets 2442 Squadron and the local school Westbury Primary's After School Club.
Tours of the building can be arranged via the National Trust office at Leigh Woods in Bristol.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
