Humphry Sandwith III (25 May 1792 – 25 July 1874), was an English physician and prominent Methodist.
Sandwith was born in Helmsley, Yorkshire, the son of Humphry Sandwith II (1746–1809), another medical man, and Hannah Backhouse. [1] He had a brother, Thomas Sandwith (1789–1867). [2] He went into medical practice as a surgeon at Bridlington, in 1816. [3]
In 1834, Sandwith moved to London. The reason was that he took the chance to become the first editor of The Watchman, a new Wesleyan Methodist journal, initially published in January 1835. He had made a reputation among Wesleyan Methodists, both as a controversialist, and as someone concerned to circulate their news. The Watchman became a significant and independent voice for them. [4] [5] [6]
In 1841, Sandwith moved on to Kingston upon Hull, where he became physician to Hull General Infirmary. He graduated M.D. and was a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. [3] He was replaced as editor of The Watchman in 1842. [4]
Sandwith died on 25 July 1874, at Todwick Rectory. [7]
Sandwith married Jane Ward, daughter of the merchant Isaac Ward. Humphry Sandwith, Thomas Backhouse Sandwith, the Rev. Henry Sandwith and Geoffrey Sandwith M.D. were their sons. [2] [3] Their daughter Jane married Henry Ward, and was the mother of Humphry Ward. [12]
