Parr, Samuel (1747-1825), the well-known scholar and conversationalist, was born at Harrow, and educated there and at Cambridge. After being some years an assistant-master at Harrow, he kept a school at Stanmore, and was afterwards headmaster at Colchester and Norwich grammar-schools. The latter part of his life was spent at his vicarage of Hatton, Warwick, where he died. He was a good Latin scholar, and a better Whig and talker.
