Cliff College , Calver , Derbyshire, UK The History of the Methodist College : Cliff College goes back to the late 19th century and early days of the 20th century with Reverends Thomas Champness . Thomas Cook and Samuel Chadwick. A sterling history of unabashed evangelism and uncompromising Holiness teaching was the hallmark of this renowned cornerstone of the Proclamation of the Gospel on the road and in chapels. I was a student there and budding evangelist in the late 1960's - pivotal time in my relatively new-found faith in Christ.
