"Wye College was founded in the mid 15th Century by Cardinal John Kempe who was born at Olantigh, just outside Wye village. He was a classic example of the later medieval political prelate; becoming Bishops of Rochester, Chichester and London, and later Archbishop of York. He was created a Cardinal in 1439 and ultimately became Archbishop of Canterbury. He combined his ecclesiastical duties with that of Lord Chancellor from 1422 to 1432 and again from 1450 to 1454. Towards the end of his life he set about rebuilding Wye Church and in 1447 founded The College of St Gregory and St Martin, generally referred to as Wye College. The college was established to train secular priests and to educate local boys in the attached grammar school. The college was housed in the fine set of medieval buildings that still grace the centre of the village today.
