The flag is is a banner of arms (ratio 1:2).
Coat of Arms:
Shield twice
parted per pale; at dexter barry of six of of Argent and Azure, in chief three
lozenges Gules, the third bar charged with a mullet Sable; in centre Argent, an
inescutcheon Gules; charged with two lions passant guardant Or, armed and
tongued Azure, on a chief Azure Our Lady crowned, seated on a tombstone issuant
from the chief, in her dexter arm the Infant Jesus, in her sinister arm a
sceptre, all or ensigned with a mitre proper; shield topped by a mitre Or with
scarves of the same behind the inescutcheon; at sinister Vert three stags
statant Or ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The college was founded in 1427 by
Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln. The arms display in the central compartment
those of the Bishopric of Lincoln (see also: Brasenose and Corpus) on a field
Argent. The dexter compartment displays the arms of the founder. The mullet was
probably a mark of cadency though at such an early date it is unlikely that it
indicated a third son. The arms on the sinister side are those of Thomas
Rotherham or Scott of Rotherham, who re-endowed the College in 1478. Rotherham
was also Bishop of Lincoln, and later Archbishop of York.
