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.

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. He was interred in Histon Road Cemetery, 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".

Works

He wrote a concordance of the Greek New Testament, and a some titles with his son James. He sat on various interdenominational committees concerned with translations of the New Testament.
