The Chaplain was first appointed as the result of Moses Holwey's foundation in 1695 of a 'Conduct' Fellowship. Before this date the services in Chapel were carried out in turn by the Fellows in Holy Orders. The duties of the Conduct Fellow were not specified but as well as being the College Chaplain the Fellow was also expected to maintain the Library. After 1801, the name seems to have fallen into disuse generally but does appear in the records in relation to appointment of C. Hardwick in 1855, A. B. Pownall in 1857, G. Forrest Browne in 1866 and W. Southward in 1884.
