### A closer
*look.*

Central-north — Parks Road

**Founded 1870.** Founded in 1870 as a memorial to the theologian and Oxford Movement leader John Keble, aiming to provide an Oxford education within Anglican principles.

High Victorian Gothic designed by William Butterfield, famous for its polychromatic patterned red-brick ranges. Its large Liddon and Pusey/Hayward quads and the towering brick chapel make it one of Oxford's most architecturally distinctive colleges.
