Arthur Godolphin Guy Carleton Pentreath (30 March 1902 – 30 October 1985) was an Anglican clergyman, and a headmaster of several schools.
He also popularised a version of the poem 'Time's Paces': 'When I was a babe and wept and slept, time crept ...' Guy Pentreath was born in Hamilton, Bermuda on 30 March 1902.
Other members included Professors K. S. Isles and G. V. Portus, Dr. A. R. Callaghan, Sidney Crawford, Charles Duguid and John W. Wainwright.
While headmaster of St Peter's College, Adelaide, Pentreath carried out a considerable new building programme and he developed the curriculum to include art, music and crafts to a degree unusual for the time.
[4] According to Sir Peter Gadsden whom Pentreath appointed Head Boy at Wrekin in 1948: "We began to enjoy new freedoms: we were allowed out into the country on bicycles to discover for ourselves interesting places — Housman's Shropshire, The Ironbridge Gorge and the Welsh borders.
[citation needed] In 1952 he moved to Cheltenham College where he introduced the same ethos that had proved so successful at his earlier schools.
[9] Pentreath left Cheltenham College due to the ill-health of his wife, Lesley, and was appointed Canon of Rochester Cathedral in 1959.
