GONVILE, EDMUND (d. 1351)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 235 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GONVILE, EDMUND (d. 1351) , founder of Gonville
Hall
 , now Gonville and Caius College, at
Cambridge
 , England, is thought to have been the son of William de Gonvile, and the brother of Sir Nicholas Gonvile. In 1320 he was
rector
  of Thelnetham, Suffolk, and steward there for William,
earl
  Warren and the
earl
  of
Lancaster
 . Six years later he was
rector
  of Rushworth, and in 1342 rector of Terrington St John and
commissioner
  for the marshlands of Norfolk. In this year he founded and endowed a collegiate church at Rushworth, sup-pressed in 1541. The foundation of Gonville
Hall
  at
Cambridge
  was effected by a charter granted by Edward III. in 1348. It was called, officially, the Hall of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin, but was usually known as Gunnell or Gonville Hall. Its
original
  site was in Free-school Lane, where Corpus Christi College now stands. Gonvile apparently wished it to be devoted to training for theological study, but after his death the foundation was completed by William Bateman, bishop of Norwich and founder of Trinity Hall, on a different site and with considerably altered statutes. (See also CAIUS, JOHN.)
