Thomas Field (9 November 1855 – 20 May 1936) was a priest in the Church of England and most notable as an educational reformer, the headmaster of two major schools.
He was born on 9 November 1855 to Thomas Field of Folkestone, a draper.
He was described in those days as being tall, ponderous and swarthy, with a mighty chest and close cut black beard, a man of invincible energy, truly the picture of the Victorian Headmaster.
A tale is told of Field's days at Radley - that he was left, owing to a sudden conspiratorial silence, to blare forth alone - 'I am a worm and no man'.
He was appointed Vicar of St. Mary's Church, Nottingham on 28 July 1913 and he held this post until 1926.
