The college was established in 1874 as Wandsworth College, a women's teacher training college, by the Roman Catholic Society of the Sacred Heart, an order of French religious women who settled at Roehampton in 1850, having first arrived in England in 1846. The college moved to Roehampton and was renamed in honour of Mother Janet Stuart and Mother Mabel Digby in 1946.[1] The college became coeducational in 1971.[2]

In 1975, the college became part of the Roehampton Institute of Higher Education, which became Roehampton University in 2004.

Currently, approximately 2,000 of Roehampton's 8,000 students, are assigned to Digby Stuart College with about 450 living on the campus.

In 1979 Ann Camp ARCA who had been teaching calligraphy to the BEd students began a course of calligraphy and bookbinding at Digby Stuart College, one of only two such course in the Western world. Twelve students per year were taken on, most of whom already possessed an undergraduate degree although a number of students held a PhD. A Certificate in Calligraphy and Bookbinding was offered, followed by a Diploma in Calligraphy, followed in turn by an Advanced Diploma in Calligraphy. Ann Camp retired in 1989 and although the course continued for some years afterwards, Digby Stuart College withdrew its support and the course transferred to Kensington Palace under the aegis of the Prince of Wales Trust.
