The flag is a banner of arms (ratio 1:1). The College was founded by Walter de Stapledon Bishop of Exeter in 1314. It was known at first as Stapledon Hall. The College uses Stapledon�s arms. The keys refer to the founder�s Bishopric of Exeter, in the arms of which two gold keys are shown in saltire.
