Colerne was the site of a church of St John the Baptist built in the 13th century, while in the Middle Ages Stert possessed only a chapel belonging to the church of Urchfont. The acquisition of the manors there in the 14th century, with the church advowson at Colerne, was a key moment in the construction of the patrimony of New College under its founder William of Wykeham.</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Seal of John of Wykeham<br>New College Archives, Oxford, NCA 10231</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/2025-07/23NCN3%20%282025%29%20Poncet%20on%20Colerne%20and%20Stert.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=1698652" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">23NCN3 (2025) Poncet on Colerne and Stert.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">1.62 MB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 28 Jul 2025 13:49:04 +0000 Christopher 3384 at
