Edmund Hall

This is a list of notable alumni of St Edmund Hall, Oxford, one of the constituent colleges of University of Oxford, and informally known as Teddy Hall. The overwhelming maleness of this list is partially explained by the fact that for roughly 95% of its history (from its foundation in 1278 until 1979), women were barred from studying at the college.
