Foundation
The college of Canons was established in 1348 by Letters Patent of King Edward III. The college was formally constituted on the Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, 30 November 1352 when the statues drawn up by William Edington, Bishop of Winchester as Papal Delegate, were solemnly delivered to William Mugge, the Warden of the College.
Accepting the formality of foundation took several years, the college takes the date of 1348 as its official foundation.
