Oxford

 

Lincoln College Oxford was founded in 1427 by Richard Fleming the Bishop of Lincoln. He obtained a charter which combined All Souls Church, St Michael of the Northgate and Mildred's Church.  All Souls Church became Lincoln College library, St Michael of the Northgate is frequently the college chapel and St Mildred's was pulled down to make space for the building of the actual college.
