Headships At Torpids and Summer Eights
Brasenose holds the record for most consecutive headships in Torpids.
In the Summer Eights Brasenose held headship in the following years: 1815, 1816, 1822, 1827, 1839, 1840, 1845, 1846, 1852-54, 1865-67, 1876, 1888-91, 1928-31.
The Childe of Hale (M1) made a strong bid to regain the headship in the 1990s, bumping as high as second on the river in Torpids and fourth on the river in Summer Eights.
