William Henderson was a landscape garderner from Birkenhead, England. He was responsible for laying out the grounds of Corporation Park, Blackburn (1857); Alexandra Park, Oldham (1865); Queen's Park, Bolton (1866). [ [http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/upload/pdf/review_public_parks_summary.pdf Public Parks Review: Summary] , English Heritage, Harriet Jordan, accessed 12 May 2008] He also worked on cemeteries, including Tonge Cemetery, Bolton (1856). 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.
