This design is a testament to Scott's profound influence on Victorian architecture and his adeptness in Gothic Revival style, which was prevalent during the 19th century. Sir George Gilbert Scott, born in 1811, was one of the most prolific architects of his time, with a portfolio that includes numerous churches, cathedrals, public buildings, and educational institutions.
The design for the New Hall Roof at New College, Oxford, reflects Scott's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to integrating historical architectural elements with contemporary needs.

Scott's involvement in the college's architectural evolution underscores the ongoing efforts during the Victorian era to restore and enhance medieval structures.
In his design for the New Hall Roof, Scott employed traditional Gothic elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and intricate tracery.

The roof design was part of a broader movement during the 19th century to preserve and revitalize Gothic architecture, which was seen as embodying moral and spiritual values.
Scott's work on the New Hall Roof is also notable for its structural innovations. He utilized modern materials and construction techniques to ensure the roof's durability and functionality while maintaining its historical appearance. This blend of old and new is a hallmark of Scott's architectural philosophy, which sought to respect the past while embracing the advancements of the present.
