Inside the chapel, there is a link with the early Franciscans in Oxford in the shape of a capital from one of the pillars of the original Greyfriars, which stood in the neighbourhood of Pensons Gardens, St Ebbe’s.

 AU Abroad - England: Oxford University-Greyfriars Hall
Greyfriars Hall is both a Franciscan Friary and one of the University Halls that make up the University of Oxford (there are six Halls and thirty-nine Colleges in total).
Greyfriars embraces a holistic approach to education that encourages growth and maturity in mind, heart and body.
Greyfriars Hall treasures its Franciscan origins and traditions, however, it is just as responsive to contemporary needs, accepting both men and women and welcoming candidates of whatever religious persuasion.

Although Greyfriars is a PPH, the ethos which governs the friary is separate to the ethos which governs the student body, and our diversity is something of which we are particularly proud.
Greyfriars receives referrals from right across the broad spectrum of colleges, and we are fast becoming known as a small but extremely lively college (for more information, see the Entz reports!), with an eclectic mix of students.
If you want to know more about getting into Greyfriars, email one of the committee members, who should be able to put you in contact with one of the current undergraduates who was in a similar position to you.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Pecham
His birthplace was Patcham in Sussex, called in the Middle Ages Pecham (Peccham), in common with Peckham in Surrey and Kent.
At Oxford he renewed the condemnation of certain errors already censured by Robert Kilwardby, many of them containing errors of Averroes, but several of them enunciated by St. Thomas Aquinas, and afterwards commonly accepted in Catholic schools.
He was an excellent poet, some of his poems being attributed to St. Bonaventure, as was also his "Life of St. Antony of Padua" written as Glasberger states, at the bidding of Jerome of Ascoli, and recently identified by F. Hilary, O.S.F.C., in a manuscript in the Capuchin library at Lucerne.

 William of Ockham
As an educational institution, even for higher education, London Greyfriars was a distinguished place; at the time, it was second only to the full-fledged Universities of Paris and Oxford.
At Greyfriars, Ockham probably got most of his “grade school” education, and then went on to do what we might think of as “high school” education in basic logic and “science” (natural philosophy), beginning around the age of fourteen.
In any event, Ockham was at Oxford studying theology by at least the year 1318-19, and probably the previous year as well, when (in 1317) he began a required two-year cycle of lectures commenting on Peter Lombard's Sentences, the standard theological textbook of the day.

I focused on the Irish diaspora living on the Continent in the eighth and ninth centuries, in particular, on John Scottus Eriugena and explored how Eriugena combined the Latin tradition of Augustine with the Neoplatonic thinking of the Greek Fathers.
I focused on a number of areas such as the reign of Alfred and the rise of Wessex in the late Anglo-Saxon period.
Special attention was paid to the impact of the Norman invasion on native English culture, the growth of various Church reform movements both in England and the Continent, and the spread of Latin culture and learning.
