St Cuthbert's Society at the University of…
October 1888 CE
Founded for students who are not attached to the existing colleges, St Cuthbert's Society is a Bailey college, based on Durham's peninsula next to the River Wear, although it also has other accommodation a few minutes' walk away in Old Elvet.
St Cuthbert's will retain its title of 'society', although its workings will changed after its formation.
Its foundation differs from that of Durham's other colleges in that it is established as a common room for, and by, its students.
