The college was
founded in 1886 by Elizabeth Wordsworth and was one of the four colleges for
women. Using money left to her by her father, who had been Bishop of Lincoln,
she named the college after one of her father's 13th-century predecessors, Hugh
of Avalon, who was canonised in 1220. The arms, the traditional arms of St. Hugh
of Lincoln, based on those of Avalon in the Dauphiné, namely, have not been
granted.
