Henry Hutchinson Montgomery KCMG (3 October 1847, Cawnpore – 25 November 1932, Moville) was an Anglican bishop and author in the last part of the 19th century and the very start of the 20th. Born in 1847 at Cawnpore, India, the second son of the colonial administrator Robert Montgomery, Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab, he was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge. Writing on 16 March 1944, G. M. Trevelyan observed that Montgomery was one of the few people ever to have jumped up the steps of the College steps in one bound.〔Gregory. K. (ed.)
