Up for sale the "Archbishop of Canterbury" John Moore Hand Written Letter Dated 1799.

18 January 1805) was Archbishop of Canterbury in

the Church of England. Moore

was the son of Thomas Moore, butcher, and his wife Elizabeth. He was born

in Gloucester and was

baptised in St.

Michael's Church, Gloucester, on 13 January 1729–30. He was educated

at The Crypt School,

Gloucester. He was a student at Pembroke College, Oxford (matriculated

1745; BA 1748; MA 1751).

Having taken holy orders, he was for some years tutor to sons of Charles

Spencer, 3rd Duke of Marlborough. On 21 September 1761, he was

preferred to the fifth prebendal stall in the church of Durham, and in April 1763, to a canonry at Christ Church, Oxford. On

1 July 1764, he took the degrees of B.D. and D.D. On 19 September 1771, he was

made dean of Canterbury, and on

10 February 1775, bishop of Bangor.

On the death of Archbishop Frederick Cornwallis, he

was translated to the see of

Canterbury, 26 April 1783,[4] on the joint recommendation of Bishops Robert Lowth and Richard Hurd, both of whom

had declined the primacy. Though not a great ecclesiastic, Moore was an amiable

and worthy prelate, a competent administrator, and a promoter of the

Sunday-school movement and of missionary enterprise. He appears to have

dispensed his patronage with somewhat more than due regard to the interests of

his own family.

He died at Lambeth Palace on 18

January 1805, and was buried in Lambeth parish church.
