At a meeting of the Governing Body on 9 October 1924 the Revd F. H. H. Clark (Chaplain of the College) and lecturer in History was elected into a Fellowship. It was agreed that the Fellowship should be called the Peckard Fellowship in commemoration of the bequest made to the College by Dr Peckard in 1812 which had become available for the use of the College. It was also agreed that the December Feast should be known as the Peckard Feast [Ref: MCGB/4/2/3].

This dinner was discontinued in the 1960s.

River Court is the area between the southern elevation of First Court facing the river and the river. This area of land was bought by Dr Peter Peckard (Master 1781-97) for the College from the City and from Jesus College in 1790-91. The cottages on the site were not cleared until 1873 when Penrose laid out a garden and designed the ornamental gates.

The gates and piers were re-erected in 1983.
