The College was set up in January 1896, located at 388-394 Commercial Road, Stepney. It aimed to spread Christian knowledge in urban areas by educating working men as lay readers so that they might communicate with members of their own social class.
After training with the SPCK, Arthur went on to attend the Church Army College in Blackheath. where he met his future wife. After he left the College he worked for the Church Army until he was conscripted in 1916. The medallion was donated by Arthur Mundy's daughter.
