His parents were Sir William Meybohm Rider Haggard, a lawyer, and Ella Doveton, a writer and poet. His father was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to English parents. Rider was firstly sent to Garsington Rectory in Oxfordshire to do schoolwork under Reverend H. J. Graham, but not like his older brothers who completed their studies from different private schools, he enrolled at Ipswich Grammar School. This was because of his father, who possibly considered him as someone they could not anymore manage to pay for his costly private education.
