Henry Folliott Scott Stokes

Henry Folliott Scott-Stokes (1896–1976) 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 business career with the Morland family firm, he wrote across very different subjects. His best-known book is Perseus; or, Of Dragons (1924), and he also translated historical works on Glastonbury Abbey from Latin, showing a lasting interest in both myth and local history.

Scott-Stokes was deeply involved in civic life in Glastonbury, serving as mayor six times. He was also known locally as the founder president of the Glastonbury Conservation Society and as the town's first Freeman, which helps explain why his writing feels closely tied to place as well as ideas.
