Charles Holland (physician)
Charles Holland FRS MD (1802–1876) was a British physician. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1837.[1]
Staffordshire background
[edit]He was the only son of Joseph Holland of Rodbaston, near Penkridge, Staffordshire, and his wife Elizabeth Wells. He succeeded his father in 1803.[2]
Rodbaston was an old manor, where the manor house of the 17th century was no longer extant in 1959, when it was mentioned in a Victoria County History.[3] The existing Hall is from the 19th century.[4] In 1831 Rodbaston Hall belonged to William Holland, with 180 acres (73 ha) of farmland.[3] He died in 1849, at age 58, and debtors to the estate were asked to make payment to Charles Holland at Rodbaston Hall.[5][6] In 1851 the Hall belonged to Charles Holland, who had sold it by 1852 to Thomas Shaw-Hellier.[3]
Stowe House, Lichfield, which he later called St Chad's House, was bought by Charles Holland from the banker Richard Greene in 1856.[7] Holland's address was given in 1860 as Lyncroft House, Lichfield;[8] but also in 1859 as Stowe House.[9]
Holland was one of the original trustees of the Gilchrist Educational Trust. His place was taken in 1865 by Richard Leigh Holland, the elder son of William Holland of Streethay.[10][11] William Holland of Streethay (died 1839) was grandson of William Holland (died 1784) of Rodbaston Hall.[12]
Medical career
[edit]Holland studied at Edinburgh University, where he graduated MD in 1824.[2][13] became physician to the Islington Dispensary, and a Member of the Royal College of Physicians, licensed to practise in 1828.[13][14] His address was given by the Royal College of Physicians in 1845 as Queen Street, Mayfair, London.[15]
