Samuel Edward Winbolt (1868–1944)^[1] was a British classics and history teacher, author and amateur archaeologist.

He was educated atChrist's Hospital andCorpus Christi College, Oxford, where he subsequently returned as a master in classics and history. Whilst there he published some educational editions of the classics and other works on history and English literature. His classical training naturally turned his attention toRoman history andarchaeology, which led him to spend much time in British and continental museums, and on which he gaveBBC talks.

He began practical archaeological excavations in 1922 and went on to unearth fourRoman villas,^[2] aRomano-Celtic Temple onFarley Heath,Surrey^[3] and two Roman posting stations, made countless sections ofRoman roads and found and dug a score of medieval glasshouse sites. Added to this he investigated sixEarly Iron Age camps in Sussex, Surrey and Kent. He also wrote four titles in thePenguin Guides series, which provided post-war touring guides to the English counties.
