The story

Story · Exeter College

You're standing on Turl Street, outside Exeter College. It's one of the colleges of the University of Oxford, and one of the oldest too: only three are older. It was founded in 1314 by two brothers from Devon. One was Walter Stapledon, Bishop of Exeter, the other Richard, a judge and politician. Their aim was to train clergy. A year later the college had already moved here, to this very street.
