An excellent and interesting article on the history of Shuttleworth as an Agricultural College from the 1940's to the present day has been prepared by Tom Griffiths.

Tom will be known to nearly everyone who went to Shutts, as an old-boy himself (NDA 1952- 1954), and as a lecturer from January 1956 until August 1988.  Living in Bedford and still involved with the SCA committee, he tells me that since he is 80 now he doesn't get out so much, but believe me he's right on top of e-technology.  I hope he will provide us with more remarkable memories of Shutts from time-to-time.

We are indebted to him for compiling an informative and amusing article:  learn how Mrs  Shuttleworth, Miss Willett and Matron managed to "oust" a Vice Principal over a matter of the wattage of light bulbs and a Principal over funding arrangements!

It is a lengthy work, which deserves publishing in full  - my initial thought of précising it would not do it justice....but when you have 5 minutes DO proceed to  HISTORY 2  and enjoy!
