History

Born in Shropshire in 1816, Francis France was educated at Shrewsbury School before coming up to St John's College in 1837. He graduated BA (Senior Classic) in 1840 and was admitted to the Fellowship of the College in the same year. He was to remain a Fellow until his death, serving ten years from 1850 as a Tutor, and being elected President in 1854. He was appointed to the Archdeaconry of Ely in 1859 following the death of Rev. C. Hardwick.

France was well liked and respected, and his sudden death at the age of 48 was mourned by Fellows and members of the College alike.
