Founded in 1816, St Bees was the first independent theological college to be established for the training of Church of England ordinands. Initially a success, training over 2,600 clergy for the ministry, numbers tailed away until the college was shut in 1895. The lecture room is now a parish hall and the rehearsal room for the Priory choir.
