Hugh Ross Williamson (1901–1978) was a prolific British popular historian, amateur ghost hunter, and a dramatist. Starting from a career in the literary world, and having a Nonconformist background, he became an Anglican priest in 1943.[1]

In 1955 he became a convert to Roman Catholicism and wrote many historical works in a Catholic apologist tone.[1] In 1956, he published his autobiography, The Walled Garden. Ross Williamson was critical of the reforms introduced by the Second Vatican Council.[1]
