The Queen's College, founded 1341, is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. The college was founded during the 14th century by Robert de Eglesfield (d'Eglesfield), chaplain to Queen Philippa of Hainault (the wife of King Edward III of England); hence its name. The college has one of the largest (around 100,000 volumes) and most diverse collections of rare books in Oxford. Queen's is centrally situated on the High Street, and is renowned for its 18th-century architecture. The chapel is noted for its Frobenius organ in the west gallery. The chapel has stood virtually unchanged since it was consecrated by the Archbishop of York in 1719.
