by George Henry Blore
George Henry Blore (1870–1960) was closely connected with Winchester College, first as a student from 1882 to 1889 and later as a schoolmaster from 1902 to 1930. According to the Hampshire Field Club & Archaeological Society, much of his historical research and writing was done after he retired from the college in 1930.
He is best known for Victorian Worthies: Sixteen Biographies, a collection of sketches of notable figures from the Victorian age. The book reflects his interest in history and character, presenting well-known people from the 19th century in a way that is informative without feeling dry.
Reliable biographical information about Blore is limited online, but the available sources consistently show him as an educator turned historical writer whose published work helped introduce readers to British public life and history.
