Magdalen College, Oxford


 

History

Magdalen College was founded in 1448 as Magdalen Hall in Oxford by William of Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, becoming Magdalen College in 1458. The founder's statutes included provision for a choral foundation of men and boys and this tradition has continued to the present day. In 2005 the choir was nominated for a prestigious Grammy award for its CD of music by Orlando Gibbons 'With a Merrie Noyse'.
