Thomas Gery Cullum

Sir Thomas Gery Cullum, 7th Baronet FSA (30 November 1741 – 8 September 1831) was a medical doctor educated at London Charterhouse and Trinity College, Cambridge,[1] and who later practised surgery at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, where he served as an alderman and Deputy Lieutenant for Suffolk.

[16] The grounds and site of the formal gardens and statuary today constitute Hardwick Heath (55 acres (22 ha) of the former Cullum estate turned into public parkland), the West Suffolk Hospital, the grounds of Hardwick Manor and housing developments.

[17] Sir James Edward Smith dedicated his English Flora of 1824 to Cullum thus: "To Sir Thomas Gery Cullum, Bart., whose knowledge and love of natural science entitle him to the respect of all who follow the same pursuit, this work is inscribed in grateful and affectionate remembrance by the Author.

"[18]Smith's publications had followed a privately printed flora by Cullum, Floræ Anglicæ Specimen imperfectum et ineditum, 1774, which was based on the Linnean system of classification[19] A genus of flowering plant, Cullumia, commemorates the contribution of Cullum and his brother.

[23] On his death in Copenhagen without an heir, Hanson left his estate, including portraits and mementoes of the Levett and Gargrave families of Yorkshire, to his sister.
