Born at Warminster; educated at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, and during a short period at St George’s Hospital. After qualifying he settled in practice in Warminster (Bleeck and Hinton), and at the time of his death was the leading local practitioner. He was for seventeen years a Poor Law Medical Officer, having been appointed under the old régime soon after his settlement in Warminster. He was also at the time of his death a Certifying Factory Surgeon and Hon Staff Surgeon to the Wilts Rifle Volunteers. He was President of the Bath and Bristol Branch of the British Medical Association in 1870. He was also President of the Salisbury Medical Society (1872). Bleeck was generously hospitable and a public-spirited townsman, supporting every useful work at Warminster and sometimes at a distance, as at Bournemouth, where he was active on the Committee of the Convalescent Home. He died on February 4th, 1878; his funeral was very largely attended by patients and admirers from far and near.
