The architecture of Keble College: William Whyte

Dr. William Whyte, tutorial fellow in History at St John's College, Oxford, discusses the history of Keble College: now an Oxford landmark, but a dramatic experiment in architecture when it was built.

What a charismatic and likable academic this William Whyte is. Rare

Wonderful video!! Thanks so much. I was trying to find out the architectural style of Keble's chapel. This gave me everything I wanted and more!

Please continue to make these great videos about the colleges!

Brilliant and a gothic revival style carried forward into the Hudson Highlands by Downing, Vaux, Withers, and Upjohn: the Pointed Style advocated by Ruskin found a home over here in New York state and city, e.g., Jefferson Market (now a Library) in Greenwich Village (my neighbourhood now) was a direct symptom of what Butterfield did here in Keble. An excellent talk by Whyte.

Love the passionate presentation! Question: did Keble stay true to its founding ideals?

[@hockeymutter]

I would have loved to have heard about the library as well

Fascinating. Thank you for walking us through Keble's rich and humble history.

The Chapel is marvelous. Very inspiring. Too bad Henry VIII was such a violently selfish tyrant. It's time that the Anglican Church to go back and also turn the cathedrals back over to those whose ancestors built them and to those who monasteries and churches and abbeys and shrines were demolished in greed. Walsingham was one of the most renown pilgrimage sites in Europe at its time. It is still a holy place.
