Publisher's Synopsis
This historical document preserves the speeches delivered at the laying of the foundation stone for the Keble College Chapel at Oxford University on St. Mark's Day, 1873. Featuring addresses by Edward Stuart Talbot, Warden of Keble College, and the Earl Beauchamp (Frederick Lygon), the speeches offer insight into the aspirations and vision behind the construction of this iconic building. William Gibbs, Esq., a key benefactor, also participated in the ceremony.
The speeches provide a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and religious climate of Victorian England and the establishment of Keble College as a center for religious learning within Oxford University. This publication is a valuable resource for historians, architectural scholars, and anyone interested in the history of Oxford University and the development of religious institutions in the 19th century.
