Scope and content

In 1519 Edward Gregson gave an initial sum to found a scholarship, the scholar to enjoy the same rights as those on the Lady Margaret’s foundation; to come from Preston, Lancashire, or from the neighbouring parishes and by preference to be born in Lancashire. The College bound itself to William, Prior of the Charterhouse (the House of the Salutation), near London, to carry out the statute formalising this, 20 Nov. 1519.
In 1527, he gave a further sum. He also stipulated that he was to receive an annuity of 20 marks for life; Sir William Stag and Laurence Aynesworth were each to receive an annuity of £6 13s. 4d. After the deaths of Edward and Sir William, the College was to establish a fellowship for a fellow born in Norfolk and pay an annuity of £6.13s. 4d. to John, brother of Laurence. After the deaths of Gregson, Laurence and John the College was to establish in addition a fellowship for a fellow born in Lancashire.
