===University of Evansville=== [[File:Harlaxton College.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Harlaxton College, side view]] Harlaxton is now owned by the [[University of Evansville]], operating as Harlaxton College, and is the base for their study-abroad programme.{{sfn|Jenkins|2003|pp=438-440}} A number of other American universities also use the estate. Evansville began using the property in 1971 as its British campus, but it was bought personally by William Ridgway, a trustee of the university, and held by him until he donated it to the university in 1986.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.granthammatters.co.uk/ridgway-william-put-harlaxton-on-a-world-educational-map/|title=William L.
