Short account of his life by his wife (married Dec 1914) Andy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Andy He seems to be descended from the social reformer Dr James Phillips Kay - aka "Dr Kay". He "later married the Shuttleworth heiress of Gawthorpe Hall, Padiham and took the name Kay Shuttleworth. He was made a baronet for his work in promoting education." http://www.thornber.net/medicine/html/kay.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hone Posted 8 September , 2005 Share Posted 8 September , 2005 James Kay-Shuttleworth was one of the greatest educational pioneers in British history, introducing proper teacher training (largely at his own expense) and laying the foundations of the state education system introduced after 1870. A splendid man. Two Kay-Shuttleworth brothers died in the Great War, and two in the Second. See the CWGC site for details. http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/SearchRes...900&yearto=2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpike Posted 8 December , 2005 Share Posted 8 December , 2005 I'm sorry if I missed this elsewhere nut the inscription on Kay-Shuttleworth's tomb in Barbon chrchyard concludes, "...was killed at Witham, Essex July 10th 1917 when returning to duty." What were the circumstances of his death, please? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpike Posted 8 December , 2005 Share Posted 8 December , 2005 Andy, THank you very much - what a tragic end! I wonder if it just brought forward the inevitable in Flanders? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
