History

Although the college occupies the site of 2 of Oxford's oldest medieval inns or hostels (one of which was New Inn Hall) dating back to the thirteenth century, its history really began in 1929 when St Peter's Hall was founded by Francis James Chavasse, Bishop of Liverpool. In 1961 St Peter's Hall was given full collegiate status by the University, and being granted its Royal Charter in the same year, it took the name St Peter's College.

The story of Noel Godfrey Chavasse, son of Francis James Chavasse may be interesting to readers.
