Paul Hayes (historian)

Paul Martin Hayes FRHS (12 February 1942 – 30 October 1995) was an English historian and academic, a fellow and tutor of Keble College, Oxford.

[1] In 1965, Hayes was elected as a fellow and tutor at Keble College, Oxford,[1] where he remained until shortly before his death, and was also a University Lecturer in Modern History.

[2] At Keble, he was an enthusiast for college cricket, and was instrumental in securing the admission of Imran Khan, after he had been turned down by Cambridge.

Hayes was accused of intransigence by Peter Roebuck, writing in The Times, but he made a firm reply, and others defended him.

[9] Hayes died on 30 October 1995,[10] after a long illness,[11] and a memorial service was held in the Keble College chapel on 20 January 1996.
