This biography, written by Whitgift’s Headmaster, examines the life, character and achievements of John Whitgift, the Elizabethan Archbishop.

John Whitgift’s commitment to education was life-long. His beloved Foundation, his greatest legacy, still flourishes in Croydon. Whitgift’s original School has been joined by two others; his Hospital by two additional care homes. Together they provide the wider social benefit to which Whitgift was committed when he established the Foundation, with such striking generosity, in the late 1590s.
