Humphrey Mynors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Humphrey Charles Baskerville Mynors, 1st Baronet (28 July 1903 – 25 May 1989),[1] was Deputy Governor of the Bank of England from 1954 to 1964.[2] He was previously a Director of the Bank of England from March 1949 to 1954 and Deputy Secretary starting in 1938.[2][3][4] He subsequently served as the Chairman of the Finance Corporation for Industry and the inaugural Chairman of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers.[5][6]

Mynors was educated at Marlborough College, and received a BA from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1926 (subsequently promoted to Master of Arts in 1929).[2][4][7] He was also an assistant lecturer at Cambridge.[7]

In October 1939, he married Lydia Minns, daughter of his fellow academic, Sir Ellis Minns, Disney Professor of Archaeology: the couple had six children.

Mynors' twin brother was Roger Mynors, a classical scholar.[8] The brothers lived together with their families at Treago Castle in the latter part of their lives.[8]

On his death in 1989, he was succeeded in the Baronetcy by his second son, Richard.
