First published in 1934, this book is a history of Christ's
College, Cambridge, from its foundation in 1437, through its
relocation to its current site, up to the charter of 1505. The
original college, founded by parochial rector William Byngham, was
named God's House and occupied a site which is now part of King's
College. It was given its first royal licence in 1446 and moved to
its present site in 1448. The college received its present name and
charter when it was refounded in 1505 by Lady Margaret Beaufort,
the mother of King Henry VII. This book recounts the history of
Christ's during this period, using archival evidence and
illustrations to offer a fascinating picture of the less well known
early stages of the college's development.
