Despite its name, New College is one of the oldest of the Oxford colleges, having originally been founded in the 14th century. It was founded by William of Wykenham, Bishop of Winchester. The college was original founded to educate priests for the parish of Winchester. In 1348 the Black Death claimed the lives of many priests in the parish, and William inteded to replace them quickly.
The Cloisters and the Chapel are still part of the college. The college garden is well known and is located against the former city wall.
