Trinity College, Oxford
Durham College
The site where Trinity College now stands was originally occupied by Durham College. This college had been founded in 1286, at around the same time as the oldest colleges that survive until today. Durham College was built for Benedictine monks from the Cathedral Church in the city of Durham, and was built around a single quadrangle, known nowadays as the Durham Quadrangle. The only surviving building from the Durham College foundation is the Old Library, which dates from 1421. Durham College was originally dedicated to the Trinity, The Virgin and St Cuthbert, and it is thought that Trinity College took its name from this dedication.
