Some notes by the Reverend Henry Robert Whytehead in the booklet The Minster And Church Life In Warminster, published in 1911:
ST. BONIFACE MISSIONARY COLLEGE
St. Boniface began its life fifty-one years ago. The buildings are now more or less completed, and form a striking block, as seen from the Bath road. They consist of a large hall, lecture rooms, and studies, for fifty students and the Staff. The chapel is only a temporary building of iron.
In 1910, the year of the College Jubilee, the event was celebrated by a visit from the Archbishop of Canterbury. His Grace was duly met at the Railway Station, the Grammar School Cadets and Boys’ Scouts forming a Guard of Honour, and after receiving an address of welcome at the Town Hall, from the Chairman and members of the Urban Council, a procession was formed at the College, consisting of some fifty students, eighty clergy, and six diocesan bishops, the Marquess of Bath, and Mr. Phipps (House of Laymen), the Bishop of the Diocese, and the Archbishop (whose train was carried by two boys in scarlet cassocks and lace cottas), accompanied by the Canon of Salisbury, and his Chaplains. The procession with cross and banners, moved along Church Street to the Minster, where the Te Deum was solemnly sung, and the Archbishop preached.
Former students of St. Boniface, to the number of some four hundred, are working as missionary priests, in almost all parts of the world. A former Principal, Dr. Welsh, is the present Bishop of Trinidad, and the Rev. A. H. Anstey, who succeeded him at St. Boniface, is now the Head of Codrington College, Barbadoes. The present Principal, the Rev. J. A. Sharrock has worked for thirty years in India. The Principal is assisted by the Vice-Principal, Tutor, and Lecturer.
