- Sir Henry Norman, 1st Baronet
Sir Henry Norman, 1st Baronet PC (19 September 1858 –4 June 1939) was an English journalist and Liberal politician.
Norman was born at Leicester and studied theology and philosophy at Leipzig and Harvard University. He then became a journalist and travelled extensively in the East, where he took a number of photographs that are held at Cambridge University. He was on the staff of the "Daily Chronicle" from 1892, becoming assistant editor.
Norman was Member of Parliament for Wolverhampton South from 1900 to 1910, and for Blackburn from 1910 to 1923. He was created a Baronet, of Honeyhanger in the Parish of Shottermill in the County of Surrey, in 1915 and in 1918 he was admitted to the Privy Council. Apart from his journalistic and political careers he was also a pioneer in wireless telegraphy.
Norman was married twice: to Ménie Muriel Dowie in 1891 (divorced 1903)—their son, Henry Nigel St Valery Norman, was born in 1897—and to Hon. Florence Priscilla McLaren in 1907.
