Westminster College was founded in 1851 as a Methodist teacher training
establishment, located in London at Horseferry Road, Westminster, hence the
name. In 1959, it moved to Oxford, but kept the same name. In 2000, it was taken
over by Oxford Brookes University and is now named "Oxford Brookes University,
Westminster Institute of Education - Harcourt Hill Campus". In terms of
vexillogical development, this was quite interesting, because Westminster
College did have a flag, a banner of arms, as shown on this page here:
http://www.brookes.ac.uk/schools/education/campus-history.html but, of
course, this flag ceased to be in a legal sense - it is an ex-flag - with the
takeover of the college by Oxford Brookes University although, it does still
exist in a real sense. The Grant of Arms may be viewed in the Library and the
flag may be viewed in Room GG/01-4. It has not been flown since 2000. Graham
[Bartram] has a photograph of the flag.
