Clicking on a name below leads to the main page featuring that individual (only the names of medics are included, and only those who’ve practised in Newmarket; also, this index does not include the numerous more recent 20th and 21st century Newmarket medics, who can be found listed with dates on the pages about individual practices*, and using their surnames only). Some clicks lead to a page dedicated to that specific individual (in bold, the key historical figures), others to the main page on which that person features. Links to other pages relevant to each individual can be found via the first page encountered . [Note: spelling variation was quite common in earlier centuries; I have used what appears to have been the main spelling for each individual’s name. Note also, the dates refer to when they were in practice at Newmarket, not their entire lifespan.]
* there are no pages about specific individuals after The Grays of The Rookery practice chain (the last being Norman Gray who retired in 1954), Norman Simpson of the Orchard House practice chain (who left the Newmarket area in 1948) and Joe Davis of the Oakfield practice chain (who retired in 1969). From that point the story is told more through the practices (at that time Alton House Surgery, Lincoln Lodge and Rous Surgery respectively), and increasingly in summary form as the amount of historical data available increases exponentially.
Note also, the numerous post 1939 Newmarket Hospital medics are not listed in the index below either, but see the page on Newmarket Hospital for some names. Generally I have not included brief locum appearances either, or more recent doctors in post graduate training posts.
