In 1810, the London Baptist Education Society (est. 1752) led in the founding of Stepney Academy, in East London. Moving to the center of Regent’s Park, London, in 1855, Stepney Academy became Regent’s Park College, a constituent College of the University of London. In 1927, Regent’s Park College moved to Oxford, and since 1957, it has been a Permanent Private Hall of the University of Oxford. The Angus Library and Archive at Regent’s Park College holds priceless treasures of Baptist history. Henry Jacob, founder of the J-L-J Church, received his BA and MA degrees from Oxford’s St. Mary Hall College. Jacob also served as music director at Oxford’s Corpus Christi College.
