Keble is perhaps the most instantly recognisable of all the Oxford Colleges, supposedly described by John Ruskin as looking like a dinosaur in a Fair Isle sweater. Certainly the brick architecture, designed by William Butterfield, has not always been universally admired. Keble was first established in 1870 and named after John Keble (1792-1866), a leading member of the Oxford Movement (devoted to developing high church theology and liturgy within the Church of England). Today it is one of the largest of the colleges.
