Exploring Oxford earlier this week. University College Oxford (1249) was established by William of Durham, Rector of Wearmouth (Sunderland). Educated at Durham Cathedral monastery or its associated Norman outpost of Monkwearmouth, William was also known as William of Sedgefield.

Balliol College, Oxford vies with University College as Oxford's oldest. Like University College its foundation is linked to Durham. It was established (c1263) by John de Balliol, Lord of Barnard Castle as a penance for a violent dispute with Walter Kirkham, the Bishop of Durham

Gates of Trinity College Oxford. The college is on the site of Durham College, founded c1278 for monks of Durham Cathedral Priory; closed by Henry VIII in 1545. Trinity College estd. 1555 moved into abandoned site. Trinity's 'Durham Quadrangle' includes parts of earlier college.

A third Oxford University college with a Durham connection (see previous posts). Unlike Balliol and University College, Trinity was not founded by a Durham benefactor but occupies the site of the earlier Durham College (also known as Durham Hall).

‘Sleepy Valley’ the name of the eastern end of Tantobie village in north Durham. No early records of ‘Tantoby’ but ‘-bie’ may be the Danish place-name suffix ‘by’ rare in north Durham but common in North Yorkshire. ‘-bie’ usually a Scots spelling of Danish suffix (eg Lockerbie).
