Note
St Edmund Hall is one of the colleges which make up the University of Oxford. The first documented reference to St Edmund Hall is from 1317. Medieval halls were established to house and educate undergraduates, many of them predating Oxford’s colleges. St Edmund Hall was the last of these many medieval halls to survive, becoming a fully incorporated college in the twentieth century. St Edmund Hall's Boat Club was formed in 1861.
