At See also:Easter 1752 he was sent to Harrow School as a See also:free See also:scholar, and when he See also:left in 1761 he began to help his See also:father in his practice, but the old surgeon realized that his son's talents See also:lay elsewhere, and Samuel was sent (1765) to See also:Emmanuel See also:College, See also:Cambridge. From See also:February 1767 to the See also:close of 1771 he served under See also:Robert See also:Sumner as See also:head assistant at. Harrow, where he had See also:Sheridan among his pupils.

He had taken See also:priest's orders at Colchester, and in 178o was presented to the small rectory of Asterby in See also:Lincolnshire, and three years later to the vicarage of See also:Hatton near See also:Warwick. He exchanged this latter See also:benefice for Wadenhoe, See also:Northamptonshire, in 1789, stipulating to be allowed to reside, as assistant See also:curate, in the parsonage of Hatton, where he took a limited number of pupils.

See also:Barker, passed many months in his See also:company. The degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by the university of Cambridge in 1781. Parr died at Hatton vicarage on the 6th of See also:March 1825.
