Lady Margaret Hall (LMH) is one of the 38 colleges at Oxford University , named after Lady Margaret Beaufort (1443-1509), mother of King Henry VII and located at the end of Norham Gardens in north Oxford.
history
Lady Margaret Hall was founded in 1878 as the first women's college by Edward Stuart Talbot and his wife Lavinia, after the Oxford University Statutes had allowed women to take exams since 1875. In 1879 the first nine female students were accepted. The first female principal was Elizabeth Wordsworth, daughter of the Bishop of Lincoln , Christopher Wordsworth, and great-niece of the British poet William Wordsworth . After the strict segregation of the sexes at the Oxford colleges in the mid-1970s, which only allowed men or women to study, male students have been allowed to enroll at the LMH since 1979. In 2006 the college had an estimated budget of £ 34 million .
