Henry Lee Warner (January 3, 1842 – November 8, 1925) was born on January 3, 1842, in Little Walsingham, Norfolk, the second son of the Reverend Henry James Lee-Warner and Ann (née James). He received his early education at Rugby School, where he was a student and is said to have been the "young master" in Tom Brown's School Days. Continuing his education at St John's College, Cambridge, he matriculated on January 30, 1860, achieved a First Class in the Classical Tripos and graduated with a BA in 1864, later earning his MA in 1867. During his university years, he won the Camden Medal in 1861, became a Scholar in 1862, and secured the Brown Medal for a Greek Epigram in 1862. He was also a member of the Cambridge Apostles and was chosen as one of eleven undergraduates associated with King Edward VII during his undergraduate days, attending classes taught by Charles Kingsley. He served as a Fellow of St John's College from 1865 to 1869.
Following his time at Cambridge, Lee Warner returned to Rugby School as an assistant and clerical master, teaching classics from 1864 to 1885. Alongside Arthur Sidgwick, he organized significant resistance to the incoming authority of headmaster Henry Hayman. He published several scholarly works through the Clarendon Press, including a series on Livy containing Part I: The Caudine disaster, Part II: Hannibal's campaign in Italy, and Part III: The Macedonian war, as well as Hints and helps for Latin Elegiacs in 1885.
On December 20, 1868, he married Eleanor Blake Humfrey, the second daughter of Robert and Charlotte Humfrey, at Wroxham, Norfolk. The couple lived at Beardsley House and later at The Paddocks in Swaffham, Norfolk, with no recorded children from the marriage. Outside of education, Lee Warner served as a Justice of the Peace for Norfolk and a member of the Norfolk County Council. He passed away on November 8, 1925, at the age of 83.
