A.C. or C.A. [possibly Charles Arthur] Coventon

Career Medic / Museum Professional

Biography Nothing is known for sure of this donor except he was resident in Oxford according to accession records, although his name is twice recorded as A.C. Coventon it is more likely that he is C.A. Coventon, It seems likely that he is the C.A. Coventon listed in the OUMNH Annual Report, 1903 as working in the Microphotographic Department of the Pathology Department at the Museum. He may be Charles Arthur Coventon. If he is, then he might have been the physician born in London Highbury aged 51 in 1901 and resident in St Leonard, Hastings according to 1901 census. Presumably in that case his medical interests led him to work in pathology [Alison Petch [as part of 'The Other Within' project 2006-9] 04/01/2007]
