Drop-in

Founded on St David’s Day in 1990, Kellogg College is the largest graduate college in the University. In the first two years of its existence the College was known as Rewley House, in deference to its original home in Wellington Square but in 1992 it was renamed Kellogg in recognition of the generosity of its original benefactor, the W K Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan. After a lengthy search for suitable premises, the College secured a four-acre site in a prime location in Norham Manor to which it moved in 2006. The Norham Manor Estate was developed by St John’s College in the second half of the nineteenth century and the Kellogg site contains a number of the original villas set within spacious gardens. Most of them are listed as buildings of special architectural or historic interest and the whole campus is included in the first conservation area designated by Oxford City Council in 1968.

The Historic Towns and Villages Forum (HTVF) works to support connections between many people interested in the historic character of a place, its significance and its community and activity today. This is a network of homeowners, local councillors, architects, planners, heritage managers, archaeologists and more who want to learn from and with each other. To enable this there will be a chance to drop into the Hub of Kellogg College between 11am and 3.30pm, to find out more about both organisations, how they support heritage and join some drop-in 10-minute talks.
