Edward Hudson (dentist)

Edward Hudson (1743 – 4 October 1821) was an Irish dentist, born in Castlemartyr, County Cork, Ireland.

During his time at The Hermitage, Hudson built several ruins along the edge of the grounds, which remain to this day.

Edward's son Henry Philerin Hudson subsequently succeeded Dr Blake as State Dentist.

In addition to his residences in Dublin, Hudson also owned The Manor in Glenville, County Cork, which he purchased sometime between 1776 and 1788.

It was Hudson's wish that when buried, his grave in the small churchyard at Glenville would be covered by: Sadly, such a cone was never built, and the £500 left for this purpose must have gone to an alternative use.
