The college enrolled its first students in 1946 and soon established its place as a national centre for agricultural education. The existing buildings at Old Warden Park provided teaching and residential facilities in the early years of the college. From 1960 to 1990 the college campus was extended by the provision of specialist teaching facilities including lecture theatres, laboratories and a conference hall, plus machinery, livestock and agronomy teaching centres. Residential accommodation was also added for 150 students to supplement that available in existing rooms at the park.
In 1988 the college joined Cranfield University, (known at the time as Cranfield Institute of Technology), joining the university's existing agricultural facility at Silsoe, Bedfordshire. This, known at the time as Silsoe College, began life as the National College of Agricultural Engineering in the early 1960s.
The college was resurrected in 2003 as part of Writtle College [cite web
