Sion College,London
« on: Sunday 02 October 22 10:06 BST (UK) »
I would like to find out more about Sion College in London (see post "Too Many Morgans"). It was founded in 1650 for "the education and fellowship of C of E clergy". Was it a school with young pupils or was it a library where the clergy could go to study? I do not know where my ancestor David Walter Morgan (1733--1795) was educated prior to his entry to Cambridge (matric 1753).He was cared for by his uncle Rev. John Morgan (1698-1778) who was described as "being of Sion College" as his mother had died when he was young. If Sion College was not a school as such ,perhaps he was educated privately by his uncle.

Already well covered in another thread ...

It was not a school in the sense you mean, but a collegiate community for training and supporting the clergy.

As your man was at Clare College, Cambridge, try contacting the Clare archivist and ask if they have a record of his prior education at a public school. If not, he probably had private tutoring.
