John Grosvenor

He was born at Oxford, the son of Stephen Grosvenor, sub-treasurer of Christ Church.

He received medical education in Worcester and the London hospitals, and later became anatomical surgeon on Matthew Lee's foundation at Christ Church.

Grosvenor was long the most noted practical surgeon in Oxford, especially for his treatment of stiff and diseased joints by friction.

In 1795, on the death of William Jackson, the university printer, he became chief proprietor and editor of the Oxford Journal.

[1] He married Anne (née Hough), the widow of John Parsons.
