On this Day in 1822
Passing of T. Collingwood, of Bishopwearmouth
1822, (Oct. 29.) - Died suddenly at his house, Villiers street, Bishopwearmouth, aged 72 years, T. Collingwood, esq. M. D. member of the Medical Society, London ; Board of Agriculture, and several other learned institutions, many of which owe their origin to him. He was lineally descended from Sir David Collingwood, of Brandon, a branch of the ancient and renowned Collingwoods, of Northumberland. As an agriculturist and mathematician he ranked high; his communications with the Board on rural affairs were much esteemed ; indeed, in a literary point of view, his productions were varied and numerous. Medicine, poetry, agriculture, and even the drama, at times employed his pen.
