Lincoln College, College of the University of Oxford in Oxford, England.
Lincoln College is a college of the University of Oxford located on Turl Street, where three stone quadrangles stand side by side. The buildings show Gothic elements from the late medieval period and additions from later centuries.
Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, founded the college in 1427 to train clergy. The foundation took place during a period of religious debate in England.
The name recalls the bishopric of Lincoln, whose bishop initiated the foundation. Students and tutors gather in the old chapel for weekly services that remain part of college life today.
The college provides accommodation for all enrolled students, some in the main buildings and others in nearby houses. Visitors can view the front quadrangle from the entrance, while deeper areas are usually reserved for members.
Every Ascension Day the college offers beer to members of a neighboring college, a tradition recalling an old dispute. The brewing and pouring happen in the courtyard and always draw curious onlookers.
