The story

Story · New College

  • en

You're standing at New College, one of the colleges of the University of Oxford. Don't let the name fool you. This 'new' college was founded in 1379, which makes it one of the oldest in town. Bishop William of Wykeham actually named it after Saint Mary. But Oxford already had a college dedicated to her, so people simply called it the new college. The name stuck.
