NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD
The College was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, under the auspices of William Wynford, master mason.
Within the grounds of New College lies the earlier City Wall which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It represents the first time in Oxford that a college was conceived as a coherent architectural whole. The College has been subject to centuries of careful development by the country’s leading architects, such as Sir George Gilbert Scott and Basil Champneys.
We have carried out numerous projects, including the complete reroofing of the 1939 copper-roofed Library, as well as various improvements to access within the College.
