William Fiddian Moulton (14 March 1835 – 5 February 1898) was an English Methodist minister, biblical scholar and educator.
William's father, James Moulton, was a Wesleyan Methodist minister and he had at least three other brothers, and probably two sisters. Like his father and grandfather, William became a Wesleyan minister and in 1875 the first headmaster of The Leys School, Cambridge. He remained headmaster for the rest of his life; one of the school's houses is named after him.
He was elected President of the Methodist Conference at Bristol in 1890.[1]
On a stormy afternoon in 1898, he was on his way to visit a sick parishioner when he suffered a heart attack in the grounds of the school. A gardener found him and bought him back to his house, where he died soon after, aged sixty-two. He was interred in Histon Road Cemetery, Cambridge, and has a memorial in Wesley's Chapel, London. The Memorial Chapel, The Leys School was built as a memorial to him; the chapel was consecrated on 27 October 1906.
In his biography, his son James noted that "So genuine was his sense of unworthiness that praise to him became a positive pain. He would walk out of the room rather than hear a laudatory passage about himself."
He wrote a concordance of the Greek New Testament, and some titles with his son James. He sat on various inter-denominational committees concerned with translations of the New Testament.
