Charles Henderson (historian)
Charles Gordon Henderson (11 July 1900 – 24 September 1933) was a historian and antiquarian of Cornwall. Biography His father, Major J. S. Henderson, was half Scottish and half of the Irish family of Newenham: his mother was a Carus-Wilson from Westmorland. Both, however, were born and bred in Cornwall, and a portion of Cornish ancestry came to him through his mother's mother, one of the Willyamses of Carnanton in Mawgan-in-Pydar. He was at Wellington College for a short time but left on account of ill-health. For this reason he was frequently sent home from school for rest, and spent a large amount of his time walking over Cornwall and studying Cornish monuments and history.

He was a lecturer at University College, Exeter, and afterwards at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he was elected to an o ...
