This biography is part of a series of historical obituaries, originally published in print. As products of their time
periods, some biographies contain language which is inappropriate and offensive and present biased accounts of physicians’ lives and work that do
not disclose unethical and discriminatory behaviour. As an establishment organisation, the RCP, its members, and the way they are written about,
have often reflected societal power structures that favour dominant groups. We aim to redress these biases through
ongoing work.
Below is the biography as originally published in 1878.
Charles Elsden Bagge, M.D., was born in Norfolk, and educated at Caius college, Cambridge, of which he was a fellow. He proceeded M.B. 1774; M.D. 1779; was admitted a Candidate of the College of Physicians 30th September, 1779; and a Fellow, 30th September, 1780. He practised for a short period in London, but then settled at Lynn Regis, where he remained some years, but eventually removed to East Dereham; and, as I conceive, died there in 1798 or 1799.
