Ian Hannah

Dr. Ian Campbell Hannah (16 December 1874 – 7 July 1944) was a British academic, writer and Conservative Party politician.

Born in Chichester, he was president of the University of King's College, in Windsor, Nova Scotia, from 1904-1906. In 1904 Campbell married American artist Edith Brand. After a spell in England, Hannah returned to America in 1915 to become professor of church history at the Oberlin Theological Seminary, Oberlin, Ohio. He returned to the UK again in 1925, to live on his family estate near Edinburgh.

He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bilston constituency at the 1935 general election and held the seat until he died in office in 1944.

Hannah published several books, many with illustrations by his wife, including "Sussex" (1912), "Berwick and the Lothians" (1913), "The Heart of East Anglia", and "Capitals of the Northlands" (1914), and "The Story of Scotland in Stone" (1934).
