Wymondley House

At one time the home of a dissenting academy called Wymondley College, it was classified as a Grade II* listed building in 1968.

He had enclosed 8 acres (3.2 ha) of common land at Little Wymondley and appears to have won a court battle to retain it, subsequently erecting the house there.

[2][1][3] In 1799, a philanthropic trust established by William Coward took possession of the building as a replacement for the dissenting academy that it had funded in Northampton and which had closed.

The Coward Trust spent £4,258 on purchase and renovation,[4] enlarging it to accommodate two tutors and 24 students[2] in their pursuit of studies for dissenting ministry.

[2] Used in part to house evacuees from London during World War II, the building then became a Roman Catholic school and thereafter commercial premises.
