investment
It is located on Broad Street, in close proximity to Balliol College . Trinity College is surrounded by an iron palisade rather than a wall, which makes the college more open and accessible compared to other Oxford colleges. Despite the size of its buildings, Trinity College has fewer than 300 students.
Durham College
Durham College used to stand in the place where Trinity College stands today. It was founded in 1286, at the same time as the oldest other colleges that still exist today. Durham College was built for Benedictine monks from the cathedral in the city of Durham around a single courtyard, which is now called the Durham Quadrangle. The only building that has survived from the old college is the Old Library from 1421. Durham College was originally dedicated to the Holy Trinity , the Blessed Virgin and Saint Cuthbert . Trinity College is believed to get its name from this dedication. It was repealed by Henry VIII.
history
Trinity College was founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas Pope , a Catholic with no surviving children who hoped to be included in student prayers through the establishment of a college. The original foundation provided for a president, twelve fellows , twelve scholars and up to 20 students. The fellows were required to belong to an order and to remain unmarried.
