Henry Hutton Parry (18 December 1826 – 15 November 1893) was a bishop of the Church of England. He was consecrated co-adjutor bishop in Barbados in 1868.[1] He was translated to Perth to become the second Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Perth, a position held from 1876 to 1893.
In 1884 he decided to open a Girls' College in Perth and he employed the Tasmanian teacher Amy Jane Best to be the headmistress. The Girls' College was a boarding school that was short-lived. His boarding school closed after four years because of finance. The now unemployed headmistress opened the Central School for Girls in the following year.[3]
