The flag of Exeter College of Oxford University is seen at the
college home page also shows the arms
and the flag. A large image of the arms can be found on the first page of the
pdf file at
http://www.exetercollege.net/design/pdfs/Exeter_Register_2006.pdf, which
contains an article by Patrick Dickinson, Richmond Herald of Arms, about the
subject p. 50-52 (dated 1969). His blazon: "Argent two bendlets nebuly within a
bordure Sable charged with eight pairs of keys addorsed the bows interlaced and
the wands upwards Or". Dickinson mentions a version impaling Stapeldon and Petre,
a refounder of the College, but the simple version is preferred. An old
rendering can be seen at

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.
