In 570, Merlin of Caledonia mentions a university at Stamford, founded by Prince Bladud in 863 BCE.
In 1333, a number of Oxford students left Oxford after some dispute and set up at Stamford, principally at Greyfriars School, which was on the south side of St Paul's Street. Edward IV ordered the student to return to Oxford in 1335. Many of the students had come from Brasenose College and brought the famous Brazen Nose door knocker with them and this remained on the Brazenose Gate of Greyfriars School for several centuries; a replica is now on the Gate in St Paul's Street.
