Henry Morris (1889-1961) was Secretary of Education for Cambridgeshire from 1922-1954. He was instrumental in the creation of a new type of educational institution: the Village College. Sawston Village College, the first, was the first state school to have a separate hall; a well furnished adult wing, a library for school and community use, a medical services room, playing fields with changing facilities for students and other community members, plus a warden's house.
