### A closer
*look.*

Central — Turl Street

**Founded 1427.** Founded in 1427 by Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, originally to train clergy to combat Wycliffite teaching.

One of the best-preserved late-medieval colleges, with an intimate 15th-century Front Quad and a 17th-century chapel featuring rare original cedar panelling and stained glass. Its library occupies the converted Georgian former All Saints Church.
