H. F. Scott (Henry Folliott Scott) Stokes

Born in 1896, Henry Folliott Scott-Stokes was an English businessman and writer. He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford, and later settled in Glastonbury after marrying Mary Elizabeth Morland in 1921.

Alongside his work in the Morlands family business, he became deeply involved in public life in Glastonbury. Sources describe him as serving as mayor six times, helping found the Glastonbury Conservation Society, and becoming the town's first Freeman.

As a writer, he is associated with Perseus; or, Of Dragons (1924), a short study that links classical myth with the long history of dragon stories. He also translated Latin works on Glastonbury Abbey, showing the same mix of curiosity and local commitment that seems to have shaped much of his life.
