The College's Foundation Charter of 1542 laid down that Lord Audley and his heirs should write the statutes to cover the governance of the College. Lord Audley died in 1544 and as nothing had been achieved he wrote in his will that his executors should draw up the statutes. His executors were Lady Elizabeth Audley, Edward Lord North, Sir Thomas Pope, Thomas Barber, and Edmund Martyn and they delivered the statutes on 10 February 1555.

In 1565 the foundation statutes were corrected and additions made. This was done on the original statutes rather than on a separate clean document. They were sent to the Master and Fellows by the then Visitor, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk on 24 January 1565.

The 1565 Latin statutes were not superseded until a new set was written in 1860. Since then there have been revisions in 1882, 1926, 1957 and 1997.

The earliest University statutes were probably devised piece-meal, but complete bodies of statutes were imposed on the University from the time of Edward VI. The most durable were those given by Queen Elizabeth in 1570, which remained in force until the 1850s. From the 16th century any statute drawn up by the University itself has been subject to confirmation or enforcement by the crown. The precise manner in which the statutes are to be observed was anciently laid down in a series of interpretations by the Vice-Chancellor and Heads of Houses; since the mid 19th century it has been embodied in printed ordinances.

Fellows were forbidden to marry. When the ban was lifted in 1882 Arthur Peskett was the first to get married.

From 1781 to 1971 there was a series of Order Books which contained a record of the 'Order' of the Governing Body. They were written during the Governing Body Meetings and signed by the Fellows at the end of the meeting.
From 1911 onwards a separate series of Minute Books was kept to record discussions and decisions of the Governing Body.

At a meeting on 18 February 1971 the Governing Body agreed that extracts from the Minutes would no longer be pasted into the Order Books. They were then used to record the appointment of Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Masters, and Scholars.

For the previous Order Book containing appointments from 1971-1979 see MCGB/4/2/3.
