A good friend of the Newcomers’ Club, Isla Smith, has offered to give a tour of Keble College, which opened in 1870. Its distinctive brickwork was intended to mark out the College as very different from other existing colleges. In the chapel is the original painting by William Holman Hunt of the Light of the World.
