Henry Hall (1734–1815)[1] was Archdeacon of Dorset[2] from 1801[3] until his death on 29 May 1815.[4]

Hall was educated at St John's College, Oxford. He was also Rector of Child Okeford.[5] Hall's library was sold in its entirety at auction in London by Leigh & Sotheby on 28 March 1814 (and nine following days); a copy of the catalogue is held at Cambridge University Library (shelfmark Munby.c.162(11)).
