Portrait of the Rev. Robert Henry Gayer More of Larden Hall

Rev. Robert Henry Gayer More (1798-1879) was the eldest son of Robert More and his wife Harriott, daughter of Thomas Mytton of Shipton, in Shropshire. Educated by Mr Severn at Abberley Hall, Worcestershire, and Trinity and Christ's Colleges, Cambridge, he lived at Larden Hall, near Much Wenlock, Shropshire, which he inherited in 1874, when this painting was executed.
