Rev. William Fiddian Moulton (14 March 1835 – 5 February 1898) was an English Methodist minister, Biblical scholar and educator. ==Biography== William's father, James Moulton, was a Wesleyan minister and he had at least three other brothers, and probably two sisters. Like his father and grandfather, William became a Weslyan minister and in 1875 the first headmaster of The Leys School, Cambridge. He remained headmaster for the rest of his life; one of the school's houses is named after him. He was elected at Bristol in 1890. On a stormy afternoon in 1898, he was on his way to visit a sick parishioner when he suffered a heart attack in the grounds of the school. A gardener found him and bought him back to his house, where he died soon after, aged sixty-two. He was interred in Histon Road Cemetery, Cambridge, and has a memorial in Wesley's Chapel, London. In his biography, his son James noted that "So genuine was his sense of unworthiness that praise to him became a positive pain. He would walk out of the room rather than hear a laudatory passage about himself." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Fiddian Moulton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
