Blessed Montford Scott (b. in Hawstead, Suffolk, England; executed at Fleet Street, London, on 1 July 1591) was an English Roman Catholic priest.
In 1578, he was captured at Cambridge and sent to London by the university's Vice-Chancellor "with all such books, letters, writings, and other trash which were taken about them", but eventually released.
He was brought to trial at the sessions at Newgate, with George Beesley (30 June 1591), and was condemned on account of his priesthood and of his being in the country contrary to the statute.
Lacey was committed to Bridewell where he was cruelly tortured by Topcliffe in the vain endeavour to elicit at whose houses he had been with Scott.
Information against him as a distributor and dispenser of letters to Catholics and against Montford Scott had been given by his own brother, Richard Lacey, gentleman, of Brockdish, Norfolk.
