ST. MARY HALL.
This Hall was originally a tenement on the present site, given by Henry Kelpe, a citizen of Oxford, in 1239, to the rector of St. Mary's Church and his successors. It continued to be the parsonage-house of the rector's till Edward II., in 1325, gave the Church, with all its appurtenances, to Oriel College. It was converted by that society, in 1333, into a separate place of education, and subsequently became an independent Academical Hall, receiving successive enlargement and improvement in its buildings chiefly at the expense of former principals, King, Nowell, Dean, and Hampden.
By virtue of a statute made by the University Commissioners in 1881, this Hall will be united to Oriel when the present principal has completed his term of office.
