John Percival (bishop)
John Percival (27 September 1834 – 3 December 1918) was the first Headmaster of Clifton College, where he made his reputation as a great educator. In his 17 years at Clifton numbers rose from 62 to 680. He accepted the Presidency of Trinity College, Oxford to recover from his years at Clifton. It was from Trinity that he went to Rugby to become Headmaster of Rugby School before becoming Bishop of Hereford.
==Early life==
Percival was born in Brough Sowerby, near Kirkby Stephen, Westmorland, England, and was brought up on his uncle's farm after the death of his mother when he was very young. He was educated at Appleby grammar school, before winning a scholarship to The Queen's College, Oxford in 1854. He obtained first-class degrees in classics and mathematics and was elected to a fellowship by the college in 1858. Recuperating from overwork in Pau, France in the following winter, he met Louisa Holland, whom he married in 1862. Together they had eight children, six of whom survived to adulthood.〔(Temple, William; ''Life of Bishop Percival'' Macmillan and Co Ltd, London (1921) )〕 The most notable of their children was Launcelot Jefferson Percival who was an international rugby player, and later Deputy Clerk of the Closet to King George VI.
