College history

Queens’ College is conveniently located between the heart of the city and the teaching rooms. The College was founded in 1448 by Margaret of Anjou (wife of Henry VI) and re-founded in 1465 by Elizabeth Woodville, wife of Edward IV. The Old Hall, Old Kitchens, Munro and Erasmus Rooms date from this time. The sundial in Old Court dates from 1642, and the precursor to today’s Mathematical Bridge was constructed in 1749-50.
