The intricate details of the stonework and the meticulously planned layout of the buildings exude an air of prestige and importance, signaling the significance of the education being imparted within. The Proprietary College in Cheltenham was unique in its approach to education, as it was not affiliated with any particular religious denomination or university.

The curriculum included a diverse range of subjects, from mathematics and science to literature and languages, ensuring that students received a comprehensive education that prepared them for various careers and future endeavors. This photograph serves as a reminder of the transformative impact of education on individuals and communities during the 19th century.
