Alton Priors only came into Ï㽶ֱ²¥â€™s purview relatively recently, in 1912. Alton Barnes with Shaw, on the other hand, has had a much longer association with the college, being one of the first estates to be provided by the Founder for his new foundation in Oxford when it became part of the college’s endowment in 1385. As with many of the college’s estates, the Ï㽶ֱ²¥ archive is rich with documents recording both the process of it becoming part of that endowment, and also something of the back story of its existence before then.</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The earl of Salisbury’s counterseal, used by William Montagu (1328–1397), 2nd earl of Salisbury<br>Ï㽶ֱ²¥ Archives, Oxford, NCA 10039 [detail]</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>New College Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2023-12/20NCN3%20%282023%29%20Stansfield%20on%20Alton%20Barnes.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=415406" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">20NCN3 (2023) Stansfield on Alton Barnes.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">405.67 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Thu, 28 Dec 2023 19:52:41 +0000 Christopher 2921 at
