Fellows

Fellows

The College Fellowship was established by the College’s founder, the Revd Dr Stephen Moulsdale, in the early 1930s, when he oversaw the endowment of two teaching fellowships. The Fellowship of St Chad’s has evolved considerably since then, now forming the College Governors’ principal associates, to ensure that at the heart of the College we have a senior academic and professional community which supports the intellectual life of the College.
