Moore was the son of George Moore, butcher, and his wife Jane. He was born in Gloucester and was educated at the Crypt School there. He was a student at Pembroke College, Oxford (1745, BA 1748, MA 1751).

Patronage from the third duke of Marlborough gained him the fifth prebendal stall at Durham Cathedral (1761) and a canonry of the first prebend at Christ Church, Oxford (1763).^[1] He next became Dean of Canterbury (1771–1775). He was appointed bishop of Bangor (1774–1783) and subsequently Archbishop of Canterbury from 1783 until his death in 1805.^[2]
