| biography:
| Physician and educationist, born in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, NW England, UK. He studied and practised medicine, married the heiress of the Shuttleworths of Gawthorpe, and assumed her surname (1842). As secretary to the committee of the Privy Council on Education he was instrumental in establishing a system of government school inspection. The pupil-teacher system originated with him, and he founded his own teacher-training college (1840), which later became St John's College, Battersea. |
