Much of Wyattβs work in the chapel is no longer visible, following a later programme of restoration by Lewis Cottingham in the 1830s, so we're fortunate to have this visual record. Happy 550th Magdalen College Chapel Oxford πππ₯³2/2
Today is the 550th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of Magdalen College Chapel Oxford. Here we have drawings by G. Cooper showing the chapel interior as it was in 1817, following James Wyattβs restoration work in the 1790s. 1/2
Love this! From our archive... and a time when *this* was #posterdesign and The Rolling Stones needed explaining.
Wonder what's the biggest act to rock (but not headline) an OU ball?

The Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt painted a depiction of Magdalen's #MayMorning tradition. (See liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/artifact/may-mβ¦) This pamphlet, explaining the tradition, accompanied an exhibition of the painting at a Bond Street gallery c.1890. #FromTheArchives
Did you get up early to hear the choristers this #MayMorning ? Here is an engraving our choir, singing from the top of the Tower, taken from an issue of 'The Graphic' dated 27th May 1885.
