Ricard Shilleto (1809-1876) was born on 25 November 1809, the son of John Shilleto of Ulleskelf, Yorkshire. He was educated at Repton and at Shrewsbury school, before being admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1828, to study classics (B.A., 1832; M.A., 1835). He took orders, lectured at Trinity and King's, and worked as a private coach. He became a fellow of Peterhouse in 1867, and served as assistant tutor, dean, and praelector of the college. Shilleto was an acclaimed Greek scholar with a great knowledge of Greek prose. He died on 24 September 1876 at his house in Bateman Street.
