| | History of Oxford New College school – of choristers ancient and modern |
 | | The five hundredth anniversary of the founding of New College fell in 1879 and the choir gave a recital of contemporary works by Parry, Sterndale Bennett, Garrett and Sullivan, the organist at that time being GB Arnold, followed a year later by Dr James Taylor. |
 | | New College was particularly fortunate in having a succession of distinguished organists during the twentieth century, namely Hugh Allen, William Harris, John Dykes Bower, Dr Sydney Watson, HK Andrews, Meredith Davies, David Lumsden and Edward Higginbottom. |
 | | There was much new building from 1955 onwards which included an assembly hall, four classrooms, a library and a flat for domestic staff; and a few years later a gymnasium, a swimming pool and a three storey block housing a music room, a science block, a woodwork room and a pottery room. |
