Henry Liddell

The Very Rev. Henry George Liddell (February 6, 1811 – January 18, 1898) was Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, author of A History of Rome (1857); and co-author (with Robert Scott) of the monumental work A Greek-English Lexicon, which is still in use to this day.

Liddell received his education at Charterhouse and Christ Church, Oxford. He gained a double first degree in 1833, then became a college tutor, and was ordained in 1838.

Their younger son was a senior Reverend Henry George Liddell, Rector of Easington (born before 1791 – March 9, 1872). He was married to Charlotte Lyon (born before 1794 – January 30, 1871).
