He was the son of Lt-Col. the Hon. Harold Henderson and grew up in Shellingford. Henderson was sent to Eton College, then attended McGill University in Montreal, before graduating from Christ Church, Oxford, in 1924.[1] At Oxford he was part of the Hypocrites' Club.[2] Described by David Cargill as a "roaring pansy", Henderson was known for his effeminate demeanour, once opening a speech in the House of Lords with the words "My dears" instead of "My Lords".[3] His marriage, to the Hon. Honor Chedworth Philipps (the daughter of Owen Philipps, 1st Baron Kylsant), lasted only four years (consecrated in 1927; annulled in 1931).[1] He succeeded to the title of 2nd Baron Faringdon, and inherited the estate of Buscot Park from his grandfather Alexander Henderson, 1st Baron Faringdon in 1934.[4] In early life he had been prominent among the bright young things,[5] but by the late 1930s had joined the Labour Party, and was a keen supporter of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, after serving in a field hospital in Aragon in 1936. In 1938 he gave a home to 40 child evacuees from Spain, as well as to several other notable exiles, at his Oxfordshire estate.[6] A noted pacifist, Faringdon served in the London Fire Brigade during World War II. Post-war he was a prominent member of the Fabian Society, and also served on the London County Council. He was elected as a councillor on 16 April 1958 for the Woolwich West division but was defeated by a Conservative at the 1961 election.[7][8] Following his defeat, he was appointed an alderman, a post he held until 1965.[9] He then served on the Greater London Council's Historic Buildings Committee.[4] Gavin Henderson died in 1977 without issue, and was succeeded by his nephew Charles Michael Henderson as 3rd Baron Faringdon.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book |editor1-first=Charles |editor1-last=Mosley |editor1-link=Charles Mosley (genealogist) |title=Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage |edition=107th |series= |volume=1 |year=2003 |publisher=Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd. |location=Wilmington, Delaware |isbn= |page=1389 }} {{s-start}}{{s-reg|uk}}{{s-bef | before = Alexander Henderson }}{{s-ttl | title = Baron Faringdon | years = 1934–1977 }}{{s-aft | after = Charles Michael Henderson }}{{s-ppo}}{{succession box|title=Chairman of the Fabian Society|years=1960 – 1961|before=Billy Hughes|after=Anthony Crosland}}{{s-end}}{{Fabian Society}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Faringdon, Alexander Gavin Henderson, 2nd Baron}}2. ^{{cite web|title=AP The Anthony Powell Newsletter 65|url=http://www.anthonypowell.org.uk/reflib/nl65.pdf|website=anthonypowell|accessdate=21 January 2018}} 3. ^{{cite book |title=Tom Driberg: The Soul of Indiscretion |last=Wheen |first=Francis |authorlink=Francis Wheen |year= 2001|publisher=Fourth Estate, an imprint of HarperCollins |location=London |isbn=1-84115-575-6 |page=258 }} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://www.buscot-park.com/history/owners-of-buscot-estate |title=Owners of the Buscot Park Estate |work=Buscot Park & The Faringdon Collection |year=2012 |accessdate=11 May 2012}} 5. ^{{cite ODNB |last=Johnson |first=Gaynor |title=Henderson, (Alexander) Gavin, second Baron Faringdon (1902–1977) |id=31218 |origyear=2004 |date=May 2007}} 6. ^{{cite journal |last=Murphy |first=Martin |date=September 2004 |title=The Exiles of Eaton Hastings |journal=Basque Children of ’37 Association Newsletter |issue=2 |pages=4–5 |location= |publisher= |url=http://www.basquechildren.org/system/files/BCA+NL-2.pdf }} 7. ^{{cite news |title=London County Council Election Results.
