Sir Evelyn Dennison Hone {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|GCMG|CVO|OBE}} (13 December 1911[1] – 18 September 1979)[2] was the last Governor of Northern Rhodesia, from 1959 until Zambia's independence in 1964.

Early life

Hone was born into the Hone family in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, on 13 December 1911. He was the son of Arthur Rickman Hone, the Chief Magistrate in Southern Rhodesia, and Olive Gertrude Fairbridge Scanlen, the daughter of Sir Thomas Scanlen.[3] He was the nephew of Rt. Rev. Campbell Hone and the great-grandson of Ven. Richard Hone.[4]

Career

After studying at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar, Hone entered the Colonial Service and served in Tanganyika Territory, the Seychelles, Palestine, British Honduras and Aden. Chief secretary to the Governor of Northern Rhodesia from 1957 to 1959, he himself became governor in 1959. Quickly beginning talks with African nationalists, he developed a good working relationship with Kenneth Kaunda and helped pave the way to Northern Rhodesia gaining independence as Zambia in October 1964.[5]

The Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka was later named after him.[6] He died in September 1979.[7]
