The front quadrangle of St. John's used to be St. Bernard's College which was founded by Archbishop Chichele in 1437. The College came to an end in about 1546 and a few years later, in 1555, Sir Thomas White obtained a Royal Licence to found a college and purchased the buildings of St. Bernard's. The College was called after St. John the Baptist who was patron of the [[Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors|Merchant Taylors' Company]] of which Sir Thomas had been Master. The arms used by the College arc those of Sir Thomas with an annulet as a mark of difference. | The front quadrangle of St. John's used to be St. Bernard's College which was founded by Archbishop Chichele in 1437.
