These hostels served a similar purpose to Halls of Residence in a modern university (but much smaller): they provided accommodation, meals, and were subject to university discipline. Many had a transitory existence: there are records of up to 136 of these hostels through the ages (but not all at the same time), and...

There also used to be a monumental brass of him in the chapel, which was reported ...

The Queen’s College was founded in 1830 as one of the first Anglican Theological Colleges in England, pioneering training physicians (doctors) alongside clergy. In 1970 Queen’s took another radical step as it became an ecumenical college, with Methodists and Anglicans learning together in a single college. At the turn of this century Queen ...
Queens’ College was founded in 1448 by Margaret of Anjou. Rather appropriately, it sits next to King’s College, founded by her husband Henry VI. Rumour has it that the apostrophe comes after the ‘s’ on Queens’ to indicate multiple Queens.
