Henry Drury, 1828 engraving Henry Drury memorial, St Mary's, Harrow on the Hill
Henry Joseph Thomas Drury (27 April 1778 – 5 March 1841), known as Harry Drury , was an English educator, classical scholar, and friend of Lord Byron .
Henry Drury was born 27 April 1778,[1] Joseph Drury , headmaster of Harrow School . He was educated at both Harrow and Eton , and at King's College, Cambridge (matriculated 1797, B.A. 1801, M.A. 1804, Fellow 1799–1808[1]
He was a master at Harrow for 41 years from 1801 to 1841 and was tutor there to Lord Byron to whom he later became a close friend and correspondent.
Drury was elected to the Roxburghe Club on its first anniversary in 1813.[2] Fellow of the Royal Society in February 1818.[3]
Drury was considered the favourite candidate to succeed George Butler as headmaster of Harrow in 1829; Charles Longley , an Oxford academic and a last-minute external candidate, was instead appointed.[4] [5]
He died at Harrow on 5 March 1841.[1]
Personal life [ edit ]
In 1808 he married Caroline Tayler, daughter of Archdale Wilson Tayler, and sister of the artist John Frederick Tayler . Just two years after the marriage, Byron wrote to Francis Hodgson "Talking of marriage puts me in mind of Drury (who, I suppose, has a dozen children by this time, all fine, fretful brats); I will never forgive matrimony for having spoiled such an excellent bachelor".[6] Hodgson .
He had five sons, including Henry Drury , Archdeacon of Wiltshire, Admiral Byron Drury ,[7] Heber Drury .
