Rewley House

Rewley House, located on the corner of Wellington Square and St John Street in the city of Oxford, England, is the primary base of Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education (previously the Department of External Studies).

By 1903, the school had ceased operation, and the building stood dormant until 1927, when it was purchased by the University of Oxford as a headquarters for its adult education activities.

[2] Oxford University was one of the founders of the adult education movement in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century.

The old St Anne's became Rewley House, and was the ideal base of operations — particularly since the small hotels in Wellington Square had long been used as accommodation by the University's external students coming to Oxford for residential portions of their courses.

[citation needed] Further expansion in the 1960s and 1980s added accommodation and dining facilities for students, in addition to more teaching classrooms and a lecture theatre.
