The Reverend John Keble, the well-known British poet and church reformer, died in Bournemouth in southwest England as he attempted a recuperation from a long illness. His "Assize Serman" in 1833 is largely credited with the beginning of the Oxfod Movement which reinvigourated the conservative wing of the Church of England. He was seventy-three years old.
