William Henderson (landscape gardener)
William Henderson was a landscape gardener from Birkenhead, England. He was responsible for laying out the grounds of Corporation Park, Blackburn ; Alexandra Park, Oldham ; Queen's Park, Bolton. He also worked on cemeteries, including Tonge Cemetery, Bolton. With a perfect circle as its basis, this is held to be an exemplar of the geometric or sub-geometric framework, the most common form of the cemeteries of the mid 19th century. A number of Henderson's works are now on English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens.
