Thomas Arnold (1795-1842) was a British educator and historian. He was educated at Winchester and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. There he excelled at Classics and was made a fellow of Oriel in 1815. He was involved in many controversies, educational and religious. He was an early supporter of the Broad Church Anglican movement. As a churchman he was a decided Erastian, and strongly opposed to the High Church party. He was headmaster of Rugby School from 1828 to 1841, where he introduced a number of reforms.
