Henry Melvill Gwatkin

Henry Melvill Gwatkin (30 July 1844 – 14 November 1916) was an English theologian and church historian.

Gwatkin was born at Barrow-on-Soar, Leicestershire, the youngest son of the Rev. Richard Gwatkin,[1] and educated at Shrewsbury and St John's College, Cambridge.[2] In 1868 he won the university's Scholefield Prize and Hebrew Prize and began his academic career as a Fellow of St John's. In 1891 was appointed as Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the University of Cambridge, and also transferred as a Fellow to Emmanuel College, serving in those roles until 1912.[1]

Gwatkin died in 1916 and is buried in the Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground, Cambridge,[3] with his wife Lucy de Lisle Gwatkin.
