Buildings encasing remains of the College of Jesus See SMR PRN 189 back up file These Edwardian commercial buildings with modern shop fronts encase standing courses of the medieval College of Jesus erected for Thomas Rotherham in 1483. This was the site of the College of Priests of the collegiate church of All Saints. This college comprised a quadrangle of buildings around a college yard which survived in large part until the mid 19th century although in 'reduced' circumstances after the dissolution of the chantries in 1547. After dissolution the college estate which included orchards gardens and grazing lands was acquired by the Earl of Shrewsbury. The buildings seem to have been put rapidly to secular use - in 1590 a local rector was to bemoan the use of the buildings as a malthouse (quo. In Munford 2000, 43) On the 1774 map of the town the surviving building is marked on the town map as the 'College Inn'. Other parts of the college may lie under Effingham Street to the west which was driven through the college yard in the mid 19th century.
