List of honorary fellows of Keble College, Oxford

It was founded in memory of the Anglican clergyman John Keble, who died in 1866, and was intended to cater for men whose financial resources were insufficient to enable them to study at one of the older Oxford colleges.

[1] The Governing Body of the college has the ability to elect "distinguished persons" to Honorary Fellowships.

"[2] They can be called upon to help decide whether to dismiss or discipline members of academic staff (including the Warden of the college).

Two of them (Edward Talbot and Walter Lock) were former Wardens of the college; the other two, Sir Wilmot Herringham (a former Vice-Chancellor of the University of London) and Sir Reginald Craddock (a former Lieutenant-Governor of Burma), had studied at Keble College before achieving prominence in public life.

[5] As of July 2011, the longest-serving Honorary Fellows are Raoul Franklin and Dennis Nineham, both of whom were elected in 1980.
