Sir Henry Norman, 1st Baronet, PC (19 September
1858 – 4 June 1939) was an English
journalist
and Liberal politician.
Norman was educated privately in France and at Harvard University, where he
obtained his B.A. For several years he worked on the editorial staff of the Pall Mall
Gazette and later joined the editorial staff of the News
Chronicle, being appointed Assistant Editor of the latter in
1895. He retired from journalism in 1899. During this time he travelled widely
in Canada and the United States and in Russia, Japan, China, Siam, Malaya and
Central Asia. Much of the material included in the two volumes mentioned in the
description was amassed during these tours. He was knighted in 1906 and made a
baronet in 1915. Norman was born in Leicester,
the son of Henry Norman, a merchant and local radical politician. Norman was
educated at Leicester Collegiate School and Grove House School and later studied theology
and philosophy
at Leipzig
and Harvard University. His family were Unitarians
in religion and Norman first embarked in a career as a preacher but he gave up
this calling and his religion on his return to England. In 1891 he married
author Ménie Muriel Dowie (1867–1945) but they
divorced in 1903 on the grounds of her adultery with a family friend, Edward Arthur Fitzgerald.[2] Norman was awarded custody of their
son Henry Nigel
St Valery Norman who was born in 1897. In 1907 he married Florence
Priscilla (‘Fay’) McLaren (1884–1964), the daughter of the wealthy
industrialist and Liberal MP, Sir Charles Benjamin Bright McLaren,
later Lord Aberconway. They had three children. In 1922 he purchased
Ramster
Hall, Chiddingfold, Guildford, Surrey with Lady Norman.
