Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Warrington Academy, active as a teaching establishment from 1756 to 1782, was a prominent dissenting academy, that is, a school or college set up by those who dissented from the established Church of England. It was located in Warrington (then part of Lancashire, now within Cheshire). Formally dissolved in 1786, the funds then remaining were applied to the founding of Manchester New College in Manchester, which was effectively the Warrington Academy's successor, and in time this led to the formation of Harris Manchester College, Oxford.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

La Warrington Academy, fondée en 1757, était un collège (au sens britannique du terme) des Dissidents anglais, situé à Warrington dans le Cheshire. Il devint, en 1786, la Manchester Academy.
