Blacke Hall (in Oxfordshire) | |||

Brasenose College (in Oxfordshire) | |||
| Brasenose Hall existed by the 1330s; it was constituted as a college in 1512. The name is probably derived from "brass nose", a name said to have been derived from a brass door knocker in the shape of a nose. The story goes that in the 1330s a group of rebellious students moved from Oxford to Stamford in Lincolnshire; one of the ringleaders was from Brasenose Hall. In due course the students returned to Oxford. The college website says: "In 1890 a house in Stamford was offered for sale; it was called 'Brasenose', and had an ancient door knocker, dated to the twelfth century. Brasenose College purchased the house for the sake of that door knocker, which was brought to Oxford and now hangs over the high table in Brasenose Hall. The College historians of the 1890s were convinced that the fourteenth century students of Brasenose Hall took the knocker from which they derived their name to Stamford, and that it had been restored to its rightful home at last."

Magdalen College (in Cambridgeshire) | |||
| This college, which had previously been known as Monks Hostel and as Buckingham College was renamed "the College of St Mary Magdalene" in 1542, by Thomas, Lord Audley. It is interesting that it was founded after the Reformation, when saint's names were rarely used to name colleges. However, it is likely that two factors were important: first, there was already a Magdalene College at Oxford, and second, the typical pronunciation (sounding like "maudlin") was a play on the patron's title "Audley."

| Magdalen Hall was originally founded as part of Magdalen College by William of Waynflete in the mid-15th century. The main grounds of Magdalen College were shortly moved, leaving the hall isolated. By the time of Henry VIII, it had become an independent institution. It struggled through the 18th century, and was eventually refounded together with Hearte Hall as the modern Hertford College

New College (in Oxfordshire) | |||
| The college known today as New College was founded in 1379. It was officially founded as "the College of Saint Mary", but as Oriel College was also officially known as the College of Saint Mary, this college came to be known as "the new college of St Mary" and then simply "New College." Its founder was William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, and in some documents, the college is identified as "Winchester College." There is a single reference to it as "Seynt Mary college of Wynton", but that is presumably a scribal error, as five other references in the same document use Wynchester.

| In 1324 Adam de Brome, an official in the Royal Chancery, was given permission to create the 'House of Blessed Mary'; the house probably was not founded until 1326. when it was refounded. The official name of the College is "the House of Blessed Mary the Virgin in Oxford commonly called Oriel College." The name 'Oriel' was in use before 1400; it almost certainly came from a property called 'Le Oriole," a house on that site which had been there since the 12th century. The 'oriole' referred to was probably a balcony.

However, there is little information about it because it was not long-lived, nor did it become part of another college quickly.

Soler Hall (in Cambridgeshire) | |||
| Soler Hall was another name for King's Hall, chartered in 1337. It was combined with Michaelhouse to form Trinity College in 1546. It appeared in Canterbury Tales as Soler Halle. The origin and identity of Soler Hall in Chaucer is unclear. It probably refers to a feature of the builidng, an upper level or prominent room on the upper level (modern solar or sollar). Alternately, it may be an error for Scholer, according to Derek Brewer (Brewer, Derek S. "The Reeve's Tale and the King's Hall, Cambridge." 5 (1971): 311-17).
