Henry Howe Bemrose (geologist)

Dr Henry Howe Arnold Bemrose FGS (13 March 1857, Derby – 17 July 1939, Derby) was an English printer, publisher, and geologist.[1]

He, early in life, assumed the name of "Arnold-Bemrose" to distinguish his name from that of his father, Sir Henry Howe Bemrose (1827–1911) and, upon the death of his father, reverted to the name "Bemrose". Arnold-Bemrose graduated B.A. 1879 from Clare College, Cambridge and then entered his father's printing firm of Bemrose and Sons, where he remained active for over fifty years.[1] Arnold-Bemrose received his M.A. in 1882 and his Sc.D. in 1908 from Clare College, Cambridge.[2] He was the Mayor of Derby for 1909.[1]

He published over twenty papers dealing mostly with geology, as well as the 1910 book Derbyshire on the county's geology, history, antiquities, and architecture.[3] He received the Murchison Medal in 1938.
