Henry Martyn was a notable Anglican missionary and translator, known primarily for his work in India during the early 19th century. He was born in Truro, Cornwall, and showed a strong commitment to his faith from a young age. After being educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, Martyn felt a calling to missionary work, which led him to India in 1806. His dedication to spreading the Christian faith was evident in his tireless efforts to translate the Bible into several languages, including Urdu and Persian, making the scriptures accessible to a wider audience.
