Reverend John Frewen Moor


A carte-de-visite portrait of the Reverend John Frewen Moor standing beside the grave of his third son, Walter Vincent Wilberforce Moor, who died of diphtheria, at the age of 10, on 10 February 1869 while away at his prep school at Twyford in Hampshire.

A pencilled inscription verso in a period hand reads 'Walter's Grave in Ampfield Churchyard.'

Reverend Moor later lost another son, his eldest, also named John Frewen Moor. He drowned in Griquet Bay in Newfoundland on 12 November 1874.
