Lincoln College
Lincoln College was founded by Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, in 1427, and named after his cathedral as
'The College of the Blessed Mary and All Saints'. He intended for the College to be used to train clergy to confute the prevalent Lollard heresy - this was a precursor of the Protestant movement which was later to result in the Reformation.
Fleming's foundation is still one of the least spoilt legacies of the Middle Ages, straddling Turl Street in the heart of the city and university. The architecture is medieval stone and, unlike other Colleges, there is no modern annexe to distract from the 15th-century atmosphere. The library is located in the neighbouring 18th-century All Saints Church, whose tower gives a notable contribution to Oxford's skyline of "Dreaming Spires".
The College has something of a reputation as a recruiting ground for spies (although there's no real evidence to substantiate this), as well as being the setting for the Thomas Hardy novel Jude the Obscure, and was the first Oxbridge college to admit a Jewish fellow. It was also one of the first men's colleges to admit women in the late 1970s.
Lincoln's most distinguished Fellow was John Wesley, a Methodist reformer appointed in 1726. Other notable alumni include Edward Thomas, John Radcliffe, Lord Florey, John Le Carré and Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss).
The College is only a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Oxford and the conference venue.
