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The 1565 Latin statutes were not superseded until a new set was written in 1860.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.

Statutes dated 19 July 1609 to which is added at the end a copy of a letter from the 1st Earl of Suffolk [Visitor] disannulling additions to the Statutes.

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.

The title on the former front cover which was destroyed on rebinding post-1975 was:
'The olde statutes of the Universetie of Camebridge reformed'.

1834-1870 - ????
In MACD/14/3/3/3 the accounts are signed and sometimes 'Steward is written after the signature as follows - John Fortescue 1818-1820 (name appears earlier but without 'Steward'). John Lodge 1821-1828 (after 1829 he is listed as President but he could still have been Steward); G. Urquart 1834-1837 (possibly from 1834 and possibly later)

This was an immediate success and in the first year the Kitchen Account shows a £200 profit. By 1912 the profit was £1200.
