Latham of Bradwall is a family whose seat is at Bradwall Hall, in the township of Bradwall, near Sandbach, England,〔John Burke, ''A genealogical and heraldic history of the commoners of Great Britain and Ireland'', Published 1833 ((page 190 ))〕〔John Parsons Earwaker, ''The History of the Ancient Parish of Sandbach, Co. Chester including the two chapelries of Holmes Chapel and Goostrey from original records''. (1890) ((page 141 ))〕 with several notable members. The line is "a junior branch of the ancient Cheshire house of Lathom, of Lathom and Knowsley, which terminated in the heiress, Isabella Latham, who married Sir John Stanley, Knt., ancestor of the Earls of Derby".〔John Burke, Bernard Burke, ''A genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the landed gentry of Great Britain & Ireland, Volume 1'', Publisher H. Colburn, 1847. ((page 693 ))〕 The family is not thought to be related to John Latham (1740–1837) ) the ornithologist,〔''The Gentleman's magazine'', Volume 174, June 1843, Publisher F. Jefferies, 1843 ((page 660 ))〕 although this appears to be uncertain.〔Frederic Madden, Bulkeley Bandinel, John Gough Nichols, ''Collectanea Topographica Et Genealogica'' (1841) Volume: 7, Publisher: J. B. Nichols and Son ((page 10 ))〕 ==John Latham (1761–1843)== John Latham (1761–1843) was a physician who bought the Bradwall estate.〔Norman Moore, "Latham, John (1761–1843)", rev. Anita McConnell, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004〕 He became President of the Royal College of Physicians,〔Geoffrey Davenport, Ian McDonald, Caroline Moss-Gibbons, ''The Royal College of Physicians and its collections: an illustrated history'', Publisher: Royal College of Physicians, 2001, ISBN 0-907383-83-1, ISBN 978-0-907383-83-3, 168 pages ((page 148 ))〕 and also updated their ''Pharmacopoeia''.〔John Latham, Thomas Longman ((Londres)), ''The Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians of London'', Thomas Healde, Printed by H.S. Woodfall, for T. Longman, 1791 (via (Google Books ))〕 Latham was the eldest son of the Rev. John Latham, B.A. of Oriel College, Oxford, and was born at Gawsworth in the county of Chester, 29 December 1761, in the house of his great-uncle, the Rev. William Hall, then Rector of that parish. He received his early education at the Grammar School of Manchester, under Charles Lawson, A.M., Head Master, and entered Commoner of Brasenose College, Oxford, in 1778, where, having gone through the previous degrees in Arts, he was created M.B. 3 May 1786, and M.D. 10 October 1788. In London, he completed his medical education under David Pitcairn at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. On 12 April 1784, he married Mary, the eldest daughter and co-heiress of the Rev. Peter Mayer, B.A. Vicar of Prestbury, in the county of Chester. He passed the first years of his professional life at Manchester and Oxford, where in both places he was elected physician to the respective infirmaries. In 1788 he returned to London, and the next year was admitted Fellow of the College of Physicians. In a few months he was elected physician to the Middlesex Hospital, afterwards to the Magdalen, and in the year 1792, succeeded David Pitcairn at St. Bartholomew's, about which time he settled in Bedford Row, and remained there until 1808, when he moved to Harley Street. In 1790, he was appointed Physician Extraordinary to the Prince of Wales, and afterwards re-appointed to the same office in the household of George IV. In 1801, he bought the estate at Bradwall, in Sandbach. In 1814 he was elected President of the College of Physicians, and in 1816 he founded the Medical Benevolent Society.〔For more information, see "(Medical Benevolent Society )" at the UCL Bloomsbury Project website.〕 He retired in 1829. He died on 20 April 1843 at Bradwall Hall, from complications arising from bladder stones,〔William Munk, editor, ''Roll of the Royal College of Physicians'', Volume 2, 1701 to 1800, Published Longman, Green, Longman, and Roberts, 1861, (page 342 )〕 and is buried at St Mary's Church, Sandbach (gravestone). Two portraits of Dr. Latham have been engraved. One is in Dance's collection. The other was engraved by Robert William Sievier, from a painting by John Jackson representing Dr. Latham as President of the College of Physicians. A duplicate of this painting, executed by the same artist, is one of the portraits in the Hall of Brasenose College, Oxford.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latham of Bradwall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
