DESCRIPTION:John Keble was an English Anglican priest and poet\, and one o
 f the leaders of the Oxford Movement. Born on 25 April 1792 in Fairford\, 
 Gloucestershire\, where his father was vicar of Coln St Aldwyns\, he studi
 ed at Oxford University\, having won a scholarship to Corpus Christi Colle
 ge\, and achieved a double first-class honours in Latin and maths. \n\nWhi
 le still at Oxford\, he was ordained\, in 1816\, and became a curate to hi
 s father and then curate of St Michael and St Martin's Church\, Eastleach 
 Martin\, in Gloucestershire\, although he still lived in Oxford. On the de
 ath of his mother in 1823\, he left Oxford and returned to live with his f
 ather and two surviving sisters at Fairford.\n\nHis most famous moment was
  his Assize Sermon on "National Apostasy" in 1833. The Assize Sermon marke
 d the opening of a term of the civil and criminal courts and officially ad
 dresses the judges and officers of the court\, exhorting them to deal just
 ly. This sermon\, together with seven ‘Tracts for the Times’ on faith 
 and practice\, were the stimulus for what has become known as the Oxford M
 ovement\, a theological movement of High-Church members of the Church of E
 ngland which gave birth to the wing of the church we now know of as Anglo-
 Catholicism. Along with his colleagues\, John Henry Newman and Edward Puse
 y\, he became a leading light in the movement. The Assize Sermon was deliv
 ered on 14 July 1833\, which is why John Keble is remembered each year on 
 July 14th. \n\nIn 1835\, his father died\, and Keble and his sister retire
 d from Fairford to Coln. In the same year he married Charlotte Clarke\, an
 d became Vicar of All Saints'\, Hursley in Hampshire\, where he remained f
 or the rest of his life as parish priest. He died in Bournemouth on 29 Mar
 ch 1866 at the Hermitage Hotel\, while recovering from a long-term illness
  for which he believed the sea air would help. He is buried in All Saints'
  churchyard in Hursley.\n\nKeble College in Oxford\, where our former Dioc
 esan Bishop\, Geoffrey Rowell\, was once Chaplain\, was established in 187
 0 as a monument to John Keble. He is also remembered for four poems which 
 were later made into hymns\, including ‘Blest are the pure in heart’ a
 nd ‘New every morning is the love.’\n\nPIcture above of John Keble\, b
