Edmund Gonville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmund Gonville (died 1351) founded Gonville Hall in 1348, which later was re-founded by John Caius to become Gonville and Caius College. Gonville Hall was in fact his third foundation. Before this he had founded two religious houses. The origin of his wealth is obscure.

He was rector of Terrington St Clement in Norfolk from 1342 until his death in 1351.
