Sir Montagu Proctor-Beauchamp, 7th Baronet

Sir Montagu Harry Proctor-Beauchamp, 7th Baronet (19 April 1860 – 26 October 1939) Proctor-Beauchamp was one of the Cambridge Seven, students from Cambridge University, who in 1885 decided to become missionaries in China. He served with the China Inland Mission during the late Qing dynasty in western China (Sichuan, formerly spelt Szechwan). Together with Arthur T. Polhill-Turner and William Cassels, the three established a proper Church of England diocese in Szechwan. He was evacuated from China during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, but was back in China again from 1902 to 1911.

On returning to England Beauchamp was ordained, becoming Vicar of Monkton Combe, Somerset between 1914 and 1918. He was Principal Chaplain of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in World War I, serving in Egypt and Greece, and he was mentioned in dispatches in 1916. He was succeeded in his title by his third but eldest surviving son, Ivor. Lady Proctor-Beauchamp died in May 1955.
