This illustration from the centenary history of the Methodist New Connexion, shows their ministerial training college, which opened in Sheffield in 1864. It was designed by William Hill (1828-1889) who was also the architect of many northern Nonconformist chapels.
The college accommodated 16 students, who normally followed a two-year course.
Following the Union of 1907 ministers for the United Methodist Church trained here and at Victoria Park College. Ranmoor was sold to Sheffield City Council in 1919, and the building was demolished in the 1960s.
