Framed colour print of St Stephen Walbrook by Thomas Boydell, 1756. The College is Patron of nine parish church livings, including St Stephen Walbrook in the City of London, which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Pevsner described it as “the most majestic of his parish churches…a try-out for St Paul’s’. The church became famous as the birthplace of The Samaritans, founded in the crypt by the Revd Chad Varah in 1954.

Statutes are the regulations governing University business and the management of Colleges.
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The 1565 Latin statutes were not superseded until a new set was written in 1860.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.
