History of 32 St Andrew's Street

According to Outside the Barnwell Gate (1915), in medieval times this would have been the site of the property which Henry of Tangmere, bequeathed to his wife Matilda in 1361, and which that lady and her son gave to Corpus Christi College. The property is described as ‘lying in the parish of St Andrew outside the Barnwell Gate, between a messuage of John of Essex and that later Simon the Glover’s, abutting one head on Swynecroft, the other on the King’s way called Prechourstrete.’

Henry de Tangmere had been one of the original members of the Guild of Corpus Christi, the founding body for that college.
