Type Biography
William Henry Beveridge was born in Rangpur, an Indian station in Bengal, on 5 March 1879. He was the second child and first son of Henry Beveridge, a district sessions judge in the Indian Civil Service, by his second wife, Annette Susannah Ackroyd, who had travelled to India, originally in response to a call to bring liberal education to Indian women.
At the age of five, Beveridge was left, with his two sisters and a German governess, at a small Unitarian boarding school in Southport. Annette Beveridge returned after two years to find her children undernourished, unhappy and subdued. Thereafter, private tutors in India took charge of his education until the family’s permanent return to England in 1890, when he was sent to Kent House, a preparatory school, as a weekly boarder. In the summer of 1892, he won a scholarship to Charterhouse, where he spent the next five years. He excelled in classics and mathematics, but neither of these subjects captured his imagination, and he was bullied for his lack of sporting
