Foundation
Corpus Christi College was founded by Richard Foxe, Bishop of Winchester, and an accomplished statesman. After entering the clergy, Foxe worked as a diplomat for Henry Tudor. He became a close confidant of his and, during Henry's reign as Henry VII, Foxe was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal and promoted up the bishoprics, eventually becoming Bishop of Winchester. Throughout this time he was involved in Oxford and Cambridge Universities: he had been Visitor of Magdalen College and of Balliol...
Later developments
In its first hundred years, Corpus hosted leading divines who would lay the foundations of the Anglican Christian identity.

John Rainolds, elected president in 1598, suggested the idea of the King James Bible and contributed to its text. Richard Hooker, author of the influential Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, was deputy professor of Hebrew. The S...
Buildings
The main buildings on the main college site are the Main Quad, the West Building, the MBI Al JaberAuditorium, the Fellows' Building, Gentleman-Commoners' Quad and Thomas Quad.

Nine of the sundials are found easily: four on each face of the square frustum beneath the pelican, four beneath each coat of arms on the cuboid and one facing south on the curved pillar shaft. The remaining sundials are f...
Gardens
Aspects of the evolution of the college's ornamental gardens (Grade II listed) have been documented since the late 16th century.[b]By the turn of the 19th century, a series of strict, geometrical layouts had given way to more informal features, including a lawn in the main garden, bordered by a dense shrubbery. In their present form, as tended by David Leake since 1979, the gardens are considered some of the university's most unusual and exuberant. Described as 'wild' gardens, the stated aim...

Corpus was founded in 1517 by Richard Fox, Bishop of Winchester and a trusted diplomatic and political advisor to kings Henry VII and Henry VIII. Had Fox pursued his original plan of using the College to train monks, Corpus may have been dissolved in the next generation’s Reformation.
