Practised at Newport, Isle of Wight. He is described as ‘retired’ in 1858, and he probably died in that year. He was associated in his practice with his son, Robert William Bloxham (qv). He reduced the dislocation of the shoulder sustained by Sir Benjamin Brodie (qv), which many years later was followed by the new growth of which he died. The story is told by Sir William White Cooper (qv), who says: “About 1834 whilst staying in an hotel in the Isle of Wight I saw a carriage drive up, from which was lifted out a gentleman covered with mud and evidently in some pain, who was no other than B Brodie. He had been thrown from a pony and was suffering from dislocation of the shoulder. Mr Bloxham, a well-known practitioner of that day and place, came in and together we reduced the dislocation. Sir Benjamin said that he used to think lightly of dislocation of the shoulder, but he never should do so again.” Bloxham’s name occurs in an old notebook in which Brodie has preserved short notices of cases in his private practice which struck him as interesting. In March, 1844, Bloxham consulted Sir Benjamin in consequence of having temporarily lost the power of moving the muscles of one side of his face from having been close to a cannon when it was fired. The accident was exceptional, but it seems not to have entailed any permanent consequence.
