Transcript:
William of Wykeham is amongst the earliest British architects who are famous in history. He built many beautiful buildings including Windsor Castle and New College at Oxford an
d he worked on Winchester Cathedral and School.
One of the most famous stories about William concerns his work at Windsor. One day, the king's attention was called to the words "Hoc fecit Wykeham" on one of the walls of the castle. The king complained to the architect about this, and Wykeham replied that the words were not intended to mean "Wykeham made this", instead they meant "This made Wykeham". His ready wit saved him from the displeasure of the king, who gave him many favors and much affection.
