Gerard Mackworth-Young

Gerard Mackworth-Young, CIE (7 April 1884 – 28 November 1965) was a British administrator in India and director of the British School at Athens from 1936 to 1946. Sir Robert Egerton was nephew of the 8th and 9th Grey Egerton baronets. Gerard's paternal grandfather was Sir George Young, 2nd Baronet; the name 'Mackworth' came from his paternal grandmother, Susan, daughter of William Mackworth-Praed, Serjeant-at-law, of that gentry family of Mickleham, Surrey. Gerard Mackworth Young assumed the surname of Mackworth-Young by deed poll in 1947.

Young's brothers Sir Hubert Winthrop Young, KCMG, and Sir Mark Aitchison Young, GCMG, were also colonial administrators. He was educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge, where he read classics.
