Josephine Butler College is a constituent college of Durham University.[1] The college was opened in 2006.[2] It is named after Josephine Elizabeth Butler, a 19th-century feminist and social reformer who had a significant role in improving women's public health and education in England. Butler's father was the cousin of the 2nd Earl Grey,[3] after whom Grey College, Durham is named.[2]
The college is a fully self-catered college of the university, and is comparatively new in relation to other existing Durham undergraduate colleges. All rooms in the college are en-suite.[1] It is the one of the university's first fully self-catered constituent college in Durham.[2] The college bar is the largest of all the college bars in Durham.[citation needed] The college also has extensive leisure facilities including a library, study spaces, sports hall, outdoor tennis court and music room.[4] It is located within the Howlands Farm site along South Road, next to Stephenson College, Durham.[1]
