History The College was founded in 1427 by Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, (cadaver tomb in Lincoln Cathedral) to combat the Lollard 'heresy' of John Wyclif. He intended it to be 'a little college of true students of theology who would defend the mysteries of Scripture against those ignorant laymen who profaned with swinish snouts its most holy pearls'. In the 18th century Lincoln became the cradle of Methodism when John Wesley, at that time a fellow there, held religious meetings with his brother Charles. Later it was the first college to admit a Jewish fellow, the philosopher Samuel Alexander (appointed 1882). Architecture The college is home to a chapel in late perpendicular architecture. The chapel was built between 1629 and 1631. The college's library is located in the converted 18th century church of All Saints. Notable former students Academics/Teachers External link
