John Henry Newman's House of Study at Littlemore.
By permission of the Vicar of Littlemore, a tablet has been fixed to the outer wall of the building used by John Henry Newman and his friends as a place of study and retirement during the most critical years of the Oxford Movement. The tablet was designed by Mr. Sydney Kitson, F.R.I.B.A., and the inscription written by Sir Michael Sadler, after consultation with the Fellow of Oriel College and others. The work was executed by Messrs. Knowles & Son of Holywell
Street, Oxford, and the cost was defrayed by Mr. Kitson and Sir Michael Sadler.
