From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Knight Bachelor is the oldest and lowest-ranking form of knighthood in the British honours system; it is the rank granted to a man who has been knighted by the monarch but not inducted as a member of one of the organised orders of chivalry.[1] Women are not knighted; in practice, the equivalent award for a woman is appointment as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (founded in 1917).

As it happened, he was actually born James William Gilbart Denham-Smith, later used the surname Denham alone (Linde Lunney, "Smith, Joseph Denham", Dictionary of Irish Biography, 2009, retrieved 8 July 2021). Finally, he called himself James Denham ("Sir James Denham", The Times, 4 October 1927, p. 16).
