Charles Handfield Jones

Charles Handfield Jones (1819–1890) was an English physician.

Life The son of Captain Jones, R.N., Charles Handfield Jones was born in Liverpool on 1 October 1819. He was one of Thomas Arnold's pupils at Rugby School, before completing a B.A. at Catharine Hall, Cambridge between 1837 and 1840. After completing his medical studies at St. George's Hospital, London, he attained an M.B. degree at Cambridge in 1843, but never proceeded to that of an M.D.

Jones became a member of the College of Physicians of London in 1845, and was elected as a fellow in 1849. He published a paper of observations on the minute structure of the liver, which led to his election as fellow of the Royal Society in 1850. In 1851 he was employed as a physician at St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, where he continued on the staff until his death.

A resident of Green Street, Park Lane, Jones later moved to Montagu Square, London where he died of stomach cancer on 30 September 1890.
