Basic Biographical Details Name: | Catherine Mary Helen Henderson (Mrs Lambert) | Designation: | | Born: | 8 January 1915 | Died: | 2001 | Bio Notes: | Catherine Mary Helen Henderson was born on 8 January 1915 and studied at Glasgow School of Architecture from September 1932. She spent the first, second and third years of her training attending day classes and seeking experience in architects' offices during holidays, and was employed as an assistant in the office of Andrew Graham Henderson in the third and fourth years whilst attending evening classes. She passed the qualifying exam on 15 June 1938 and was admitted ARIBA on 9 January 1939, her proposers being Andrew Graham Henderson, Thomas Harold Hughes and William James Smith. By that time she had found employment in H M Office of Works, London. Andrew Graham Henderson was probably a relative but does not appear to have been her father, as his supporting statement on her RIBA nomination papers claims that he had only known her since 1933.
Catherine married Stanley Charles Gambrell Lambert, who was also an architect, in 1940 in Chichester. She died in East Sussex in early 2001, her death being recorded in February of that year. Her husband had predeceased her in 1990. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 5, Cleveland Square, London, England | Private | 1938 * | | |
