More about this scene
Laleham was a tiny village when Dr Thomas Arnold, soon to be the formidable headmaster of Rugby School, came to live here in Regency times. His son Matthew, the poet, was born in Laleham in 1822, and spent the early years of his life here. Arnold's poetry and scholarship - he became Professor of Poetry at Oxford University at the very young age of 35 - was hugely influential. Matthew Arnold died in Liverpool in 1882, but was brought back to his birthplace for burial.
