The College of the Valley Scholars of St Nicholas (Latin: Collegium de Valle Scholarium beati Nicholai), sometimes called the Valley College and De Vaux College, was a seat of learning in Salisbury, England.
It has some claim to be seen as the first university college in England,[1] as it was founded three years before Merton College, Oxford, a college there with a disputed claim as the oldest there.[2]
