Corpus Christi was founded by Bishop Foxe of Winchester and was the first outward manifestation of the arrival of the Renaissance at Oxford. As in the arms of [[Brasenose College (Oxford University)|Brasenose]], the arms of the founder's [[Diocese of Winchester|See]] are shown in the centre, in this case on an argent field, and a pelican vulning herself proper, a symbol of the Body of Christ.
