    called Stapeldonhalle/ and Arthurhall (two messuages conveyed to them jointly by John de Dokelington), witnesses Sir Richard de Merton, Sir Richard de Stapeldon, Sir John de Treiaugu \ Richard de Inwardlegh, John de la Pomeray. Hart hall lay within Smythgate, in S. Peter’s in the East, between Black hall to the west and Scheld hall to the east; this Scheld hall was where New College cloister now stands. But Hart hall proving too small, the bishop moved his scholars to the site of the present College, where he obtained from Peter de Skelton for £50 on 6 Oct. 1315 S. Stephen’s hall in S. Mildred’s parish. Later on, a tower, part of which still remains in the rector’s house, was built on the site of S. Stephen’s hall with a gate under it opening out into the lane inside the City wall. Skelton was very much favored by the bishop.
