College Farm

This is the site of a tiny hospital founded circa 1180 by Roger FitzRichard. It was a hostel and infirmary for poor travellers. By the later half of the 15th century, possibly due to insufficient income, the aims of the institution had clearly fallen by the wayside.

As a result, in 1485 the hospital’s patron. the Earl of Arundel, granted the hospital and all its property to Magdalen College, Oxford, and the hospital itself was dissolved.
