Biography[edit | edit source]
Born in Norwich, he was the son of James Alexander Henderson, a clothier.
The Henderson School in Norwich was named after him, and was a World War II foundation in 1943, for boys; the Gurney School on the same site on Bowthorpe Road was for girls. The Gurney Henderson School was formed by amalgamation, from 1970 being known as the Bowthorpe Comprehensive School, closing in 1991. Frederick attended University of Arizona (3 years).
