An engraving of Revd. William Fiddian Moulton (1835-1898).

A scientist as well as minister by training, Moulton rose quickly to a teaching appointment at Richmond College in 1858. In 1875, he moved to Cambridge and founded The Leys School where he remained as Headmaster until his death in 1891. The Leysian Mission in London was Moulton's brainchild. Moulton became President of the Methodist Conference in 1890-1891. Throughout his career, he contributed to scholarly debates and published academic works, in particular in relation to the Bible.
