Cory, William Johnson (1823-1892)
William Johnson Cory was an educator and poet. He was born 1823 and died 1892, and best known for his work ‘Iconia’. However his greatest impact can be seen in the influence he had on some of his more notable pupils, both as a school master at Eton, and through his private tuition later in his life.
