The Oldham Room is a boardroom style room with tables and chairs used as a school support room.
The room is named after Joseph H. Oldham (1874-1969), eminent missionary, educator and ecumenical leader, who was educated at New College, 1901-1905, and who took a leading role, as Organising Secretary, of the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference, which was held in the Assembly Hall and New College in June 1910. The subject of a major historical study by our own Professor Brian Stanley, the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference is regarded as the beginning of the modern ecumenical movement.
