Oxford Military College was an all-male private boarding school and military academy in Cowley, Oxford, England, from 1876 to 1896. The military college opened on 7 September 1876. Prince George, Duke of Cambridge was the patron of the Oxford Military College.[1] The military college was declared bankrupt in 1896. The college's 88 acres (36 ha) site later housed Morris Motors (1912–25) and the Nuffield Press (1925-1992).[2] The main college building (manor house) was demolished in 1957.[3] The buildings were used by the Nuffield Press until the mid 1990s after which they were converted into residential flats.
