Seale-Hayne College is an agricultural college in Devon, England, operating from 1919 to 2005. It is the only agricultural college in England whose buildings are designed and built. It's located 3 miles from Newton Abbot.
College was established according to the will of Charles Seale Hayne (1833-1903), a Liberal politician who was a Devon landowner. The college was built between 1912 and 1914, but its opening was postponed by the start of the First World War. During the war it served as a training center for Land Girls, and in 1918 and 1919 operated as a military neurasthenic hospital for the care of soldiers suffering from shock.
The first students arrived in 1920. During the Second World War, colleges were used for the training of the Women's Army. After the war, the college expanded significantly, and by 1986 there were over 1,000 students. In 1989, colleges joined Plymouth Polytechnic to form Seale-Hayne Faculty of Agriculture, Food & amp; Land Use, South West Polytechnic . ( South West Polytechnic to Plymouth University in 1992). In 2005 the university closed campus and staff and students moved to Plymouth.
Currently the Seale-Hayne site is used by Dame Hannah Rogers Trust, which provides education, therapy, care and strength for children and adolescents with large physical disabilities and centers to organize events to raise funds for Hannah Rogers Dame School in Ivybridge
