Habershon, born in 1789, came of a Yorkshire family.
In 1806 he was articled to the architect William Atkinson, with whom he remained for some years as assistant. He was an occasional exhibitor at the Royal Academy between 1807 and 1827. He designed churches at Belper (1824), Minster, Bishop Ryders (all in Derbyshire), and at Kimberworth, Yorkshire.
At Derby he erected the town hall, which later burnt down, the county courts, and the market.
Among the many private houses designed by him were Hadsor House, near Droitwich, Worcestershire, for J. Howard Galton (1827). The cathedral is described in James Wood Johns"s Anglican Cathedral Church of Saint James Mount Zion Jerusalem (1844).
On his way home in 1843 Habershon had an interview with King Frederick William IV of Prussia, who was associated with England in the establishment of the bishopric of Jerusalem, and in the following year the king conferred on him the great gold medal for science and literature, to mark his appreciation of Habershon"s work on Habershon died in London in 1852, and was buried in Abney Park Cemetery.
