Description
Keble College, established in 1485, features the North Quadrangle, also known as The Front. On the North side, there is the Chapel, which was expanded in 1892 with a small chapel added to the South, designed by J T Micklethwaite. The South side includes the Hall and Library, while the West side is occupied by the Liddon Buildings. The North Range has an extension on the West, built by Thomas Rayson in 1956, and an addition north of the Clock Tower completed in 1966. Both extensions are designed in the same architectural style.
