Mary Catterall (1922–2015) was a British medical doctor and sculptor. [1]
Mary Catterall was born in London to William Rowley Williamson and Anne Marguerite Wlliamson.[ citation needed] Catterall attended St Helen's School in Middlesex. [2] She worked as a despatch rider for the Home Guard from 1939 to 1941. [2]
Catterall is recognised across the world for her pioneering work in neutron therapy. [3] In 1943, she completed her initial training as a physiotherapist before deciding to re-train as a doctor. [1] Having passed her first MB, Catterall was accepted at the London Hospital Medical School in an intake of 70 men and seven women. [2] In 1959–1960, Catterall was a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds. [4]
In the 1960s Catterall gained international attention for her work at Hammersmith Hospital using an early 5 MeV cyclotron for neutron therapy treatment. [3] [5] She worked at Hammersmith Hospital until 1987, and wrote articles for medical journals during this period.[ citation needed] In 1978 Catterall gave a guest lecture at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois. [6] By 1982, the Cyclotron Unit at Hammersmith Hospital was at risk of closure, and Catterall was offered a job in the United States of America. [7]
Catterall was a member of the British Institute of Radiology, Royal College of Radiologists and a Fellow of the American College of Radiology.[ citation needed] In 1982, Catterall was awarded an honorary degree by Durham University as part of their 150th anniversary events. [8] [9]
Catterall first began to model in clay during the Second World War. [1] She later learned from the sculptor Humphrey Paget. [1] Around 1968–1969, Catterall created a maquette in vinyl gel plaster for a memorial to John F. Kennedy, consisting of a group of figures representing Kennedy's interests including Medicare, race issues and underdeveloped countries. [10]
Catterall was a member of the Chelsea Art Society. [11] In 1998, Catterall sculpted a bust of John Ruskin to be exhibited in the Summer Exhibition at Holy Trinity, Sloane Street. [12] The National Army Museum acquired five Bosnian sculptures by Catterall in 2008. [2]
