Littlemore

Littlemore is a small town just past the outskirts of Oxford. While Newman was still an Anglican, he moved out to this village to live in a community with other members of the Oxford Movement. It was while he was here that he converted to the Catholic faith.

Arguably the world's foremost Newman scholar, Fr. Ian Ker, gave us two lectures today. We also had the chance to visit an Anglican church that Newman built, and we went to the grounds where Newman lived when he converted. His conversion sent shockwaves throughout all of England since he was one of the most well known men in England at that time.
