Life

[edit]

He was born at Broadhembury in Devon, the son of the Rev. William Heberden. He was educated at Harrow School and Balliol College, Oxford, from 1868, where he was a contemporary of Benjamin Jowett.[3][4]

Heberden edited a book on the history of Brasenose College, published in 1909.[5] He funded a Harrow Scholarship for Brasenose College in 1916 and an Organ Scholarship in 1921 at his death.[6] He also left £1,000 to the university, which was used for the Coin Room at the Ashmolean Museum.[7]

He was on the governing body of Abingdon School from 1914 to 1921.[8]

Heberden is buried in Holywell Cemetery, Oxford.
