Restoring the Bodley and Garner Gateway at Magdalen College, Oxford
Restorations are currently under way to restore the Bodley and Garner Gate - what’s now the main gate into College from the High - as it has become very weathered over time.
You would be forgiven for thinking that all the College buildings facing onto the high are medieval. However, this entrance gate designed by the acclaimed architects George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner, was actually erected in 1885, long after the college’s founding in 1458. The gate’s plain Gothic style, complete with gables and intricate stone carvings of significant college figures, is an incredible piece of stone work and craftmanship that we would like to restore and preserve for as long as possible.
In light of this, we’ve been granted Listed Building Consent to conserve the 1885 Bodley and Garner Gate. The works, which are estimated to take around two years, are necessary to restore lost detailing, and keep the stone from further deterioration.
Over the next year the replacement stone will be carved by Alex Wenham, a local stone carver and expert, ready for installation in 2025, at which time the gate will be restored to its former glory.

A 45-year-old Dream Comes True: Magdalen Academical Clerks sing from the tower after a 45 year wait.
zhlédnutí 398Před 2 měsíci
During the late 1970s, the Great Tower was under renovation, so that year's academical clerks weren't able to climb up on May Morning to sing the Hymnus Eucharisticus. For those who matriculated in 1975-78, they sang from the top of the Founder's Tower instead. A much easier climb, but further from The High and the crowds. For more than 45 years these academical clerks (Singers in the Magdalen ...

Love that the old damaged architecture is being repaired and not destroyed. Thank you so much for your knowledge and care. Keep it up. 🌟🙏🌟
The overlayed subtitles are obscuring and horrible. Either use transparent background or give an option to remove. 👍🏼
You've cancelled St George's Day celebrations, yet you're openly celebrating Eid. You're so spineless and afriad of hearing what people think of you that you've turned comments off. To the social media employee reading this, you're a coward.

This 1st May event is an important scene in the 1993 movie " Shadowlands " with Anthony Hopkins as British writer Clive S Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia) 🧐
The cloistered elite: how precious and exclusive! In France this kind of privilege doesn't exist: church music of the highest order is available to ALL, rich and poor.
im from kuwait and my wish to study and grad from magdalen college master :D its now my last corse in college i really like the place
Wonderful memories of a wonderful event. Many more people than in 1964-69 and no one jumping from the bridge into the river. Thanks for such an uplifting video in these troubled times. Ian Mycroft
This is so enlightening about the medieval musical manuscripts, and the singing is lovely. Thank you for uploading! 🎵👑
C. S. Lewis home!. Great!. Congratulations. ♥️👏👏♥️
I love it another brilliant may morning
One of the quintessential sounds of Oxford.
Such a wonderful morning. Well done to the choir and informator choristarum
Dr Ralph Walker in the red suit? I wouldn’t put it past him.
Santa obviously hasn't read the 'do not feed the deer' sign... (This was fun - well done!)
History is fleshed at Magdalen College, Oxford. Richly performed.
This brings back fond memories. I participated in this event during the three years I was a student at Magdalen College, and in particular in 1988, exactly 30 years ago, I was able to get one of the limited number of tickets given out to students via a draw, allowing me to be at the top of the tower when the choir performed. We had to be there before 6 am, which is when the singing begins. Thousands of people were in High Street down below, but they went dead silent once the singing began. Afterwards there was a carnival atmosphere in the street for a couple of hours. Some people stay up the whole night before, going to bed after the ceremony and festivities.
Ironic that heretics are maintaining the musical heritage of the Catholic Church whilst the modern Catholic Church is becoming Protestant in every way.
This is wonderful - congratulations to all who put it together. I can't wait for the scores to become available for further use.
Fascinating and all together splendid! I acknowledge my prejudice, since I had the delight to study at Magdalen from 1958 to 1962 when the great Bernard Rose was Informator Choristarum. Happy memories...
