Edmund Gonville was an English priest who founded Gonville Hall at the University of Cambridge in 1348, which later was re-founded by John Caius to become Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Gonville Hall was his third foundation. Before this he had founded two religious houses, Rushworth College at Rushford, Norfolk, 1342 and the Hospital of St John at Bishop's Lynn, Norfolk. The origin of his wealth is obscure.
