1829-1885
Poet and son of John Moultrie (1799-1874), Rector of Rugby, Warwickshire. He was born and brought up in the town, attending Rugby School before going on to Exeter College, Oxford. He became as Assistant Master at Shrewsbury School, then Vicar of Southleigh and Warden of St. James College, Southleigh. He was very close to his sister Mary Dunlop Moultrie (1837-1866) with whom he collaborated and whom he sorely missed after her early death at the age of twenty-nine. His life of high-church spirituality is reflected in his work which, although more technically accomplished than that of his father, lacks his freshness and simple sincerity.
