History of Brasenose College, Oxford: The history of Brasenose College, Oxford stretches back to 1509, when the college was founded on the site of Brasenose Hall.  Its name is believed to derive from the name of a bronze knocker that adorned the hall's door.  The college was associated with Lancashire and Cheshire, the county origins of its two founders – Sir Richard Sutton and the Bishop of Lincoln, William Smyth – a link that was maintained strongly until the latter half of the nineteenth century.  The first principals navigated Brasenose, with its Catholic sympathisers, through the reformation and continuing religious reforms.  Most of Brasenose favoured the Royalist side during the English Civil War, although it produced notable generals and clergy on both sides.  The library and chapel were completed in the mid-seventeenth century, despite Brasenose suffering continuing financial problems.
