Henry Whitehead Moss

Henry Whitehead Moss

scholar.

He was educated at Shrewsbury and St. John's College, Cambridge, where he held a scholarship. In 1862, two years after his arrival, he was elected the Craven University scholar, and in 1864 appointed a Fellow and Lecturer of St. John's.

In 1866, Benjamin Hall Kennedy resigned the headmastership of Shrewsbury School, and at the age of 25, Moss was chosen to succeed him; he remained in the post for forty-two years, until he retired in 1908. Whilst headmaster, he supervised the movement of the school from its central site to a new location on the outskirts of the town.
