Founded by Bishop Richard Fleming in 1427, Lincoln College is now one of the best preserved of the medieval colleges. Fleming intended the college 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'. The hall maintains its original roof, including a gap where smoke would escape.
