About this audio guide
This guide to Trinity College in Oxford follows Ralph Kettell, the towering President who ran the college from fifteen ninety-nine into the years of the Civil War. You'll hear him through the eyes of John Aubrey, the gossip who studied here as a young man, with his hourglass, his keyholes and his strict ideas about hair and beer. Best heard on Broad Street at the college gates.
