[The Peckwater Quadrangle derives its name from an ancient hostle, or

inn, which stood on the south-west corner of the present court; and was

the property of Ralph, the son of Richard Peckwater, who gave it to St.

Frideswide's Priory, 30th Henry III.; and about the middle of the reign

of Henry VIII., another inn, called Vine Hall, was added to it; which,

with other buildings, were reduced into a quadrangle in the time of

Dean Duppa and Dr. Samuel Fell. The two inns were afterwards known by

the name of Vine Hall, or Peckwater's Inn; and by this name were given

to Christ Church, in 1547, by Henry VIII.]
