William Henry St John Hope

Sir William Henry St John Hope was a member of the Society of Antiquaries of London.

He was involved in the Society's report on the restorations and alterations at Bath by Charles Davis in the 1880s. His 1899 English Altars was the first publication of the Anglican traditionalist Alcuin Club. He assisted Sir Harold Brakspear in investigating Ludlow Castle in 1903[1] and in drawing the plans of Lewes Priory in 1906. Between 1909 and 1915, he participated in the first major excavation of the hillfort at Old Sarum, along with William Hawley and D.H. Montgomery.[2]
