He was educated at [Alnmouth](/source/Alnmouth) and at [Warrenford](/source/Warrenford) grammar school. About the age of 15 he was placed under the tuition of Samuel Walker, minister at [Northowram](/source/Northowram), with whom he studied theology. He soon became known as a preacher, and on 25 December 1790 was appointed minister at [Idle](/source/Idle%2C_West_Yorkshire) in [Yorkshire](/source/Yorkshire).{{cite DNB|wstitle=Vint, William|volume=58}} In 1795 the academy at Northowram was dissolved, and several of the students were temporarily placed with Vint, who taught them theology. Edward Hanson of London then worked to set up a regular academy at Idle; it began in a small way in 1800, and Vint, the only tutor, at first only took on four pupils. The establishment prospered, and on 21 June 1826 it became known as [Airedale Independent College](/source/Airedale_Independent_College). Vint continued to direct it until his last illness, when on 5 March 1834 it moved locally to [Undercliffe](/source/Bolton_and_Undercliffe). Besides acting as tutor to Airedale College, Vint was minister of Idle till his death there on 13 March 1834. He was buried in the graveyard of the chapel. ==Works== A press was established at Idle in 1824 under the management of his brother, John Vint, at which Vint's 17 publications were printed. Besides sermons, he was the author of: * ''Strictures on Mr. Morison's Discourse on the Millennium'', 1829. Against [John Morison](/source/John_Morison_(pastor)). * ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=hga1TFUnoG4C&dq=An+Enquiry+into+the+Origin+of+Opinions+relative+to+an+Expected+Millennium+1830&pg=PR1 An Enquiry into the Origin of Opinions relative to an Expected Millennium]'', 1830.
