Glasney College is a medieval collegiate foundation established in Penryn, Cornwall, during the late fourteenth century. The college was founded as an institution for secular canons and served as an important centre of learning and religious life in the south-west until its dissolution during the English Reformation in the sixteenth century. The surviving remains include fragmentary stone structures and archaeological deposits that attest to the college's former buildings and layout, though little stands to its original height. Glasney represents a significant example of pre-Reformation collegiate provision in Cornwall and remains an important archaeological site for understanding medieval religious and educational institutions in the region.
