John Moore (26 April 1730–18 January 1805) was Archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England.
Life[edit source | edit]
Moore was the son of George Moore, butcher, and his wife Jane. He was born in Gloucester and was educated at the Crypt School there. He was a student at Pembroke College, Oxford (matriculated 1745; BA 1748; MA 1751).
Patronage from the third Duke of Marlborough gained him the fifth prebendal stall at Durham Cathedral (1761) and a canonry of the first prebend at Christ Church, Oxford (1763).[3] He next became Dean of Canterbury (1771–1775).
He was appointed Bishop of Bangor (1774–1783) and subsequently Archbishop of Canterbury from 1783 until his death in 1805.[4] He was buried at Lambeth parish church.[5]
