Born at Highgate on May 26th, 1843; educated at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, where for the unusual period of two years he was House Surgeon to Sir James Paget (qv), to whom he afterwards acted as private assistant, whilst serving for another period of two years as chloroformist to the hospital. He entered the Army as Assistant Surgeon on the Staff on Oct 23rd, 1866, and was gazetted to the Royal Horse Guards Blue on March 15th, 1867, where he served as Assistant Surgeon till September 25th, 1869, when he resigned. He acted as Surgical Registrar at St Bartholomew’s Hospital from 1869 until the end of 1872. In February, 1873, he was appointed Assistant Surgeon to Charing Cross Hospital, becoming Surgeon in 1880 and Consulting Surgeon in 1903, after acting as Curator of the Museum (1874-1878), Lecturer on Operative Surgery (1879-1884), Lecturer on Surgery (1871-1895), and Aural Surgeon. He was also Surgeon to the Lock Hospital, from which he retired as Consulting Surgeon, and had been Assistant Surgeon at the Great Northern and West London Hospitals. He was placed on the Commission of the Peace for Buckinghamshire in 1908, and was a Knight of Grace and Hon Associate of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. He retired to Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, where he had inherited a small estate, and here he took part in local affairs, becoming Chairman of the Little Marlow Parish Council. He died at the Old Malt House, Bourne End, on Jan 12th, 1926, and was buried in Little Marlow Cemetery, survived by his widow, a son, and two daughters. Bloxham devoted himself more to the treatment of venereal disease than to general surgery, but as a surgeon he was dexterous and excelled in the plastic surgery necessary to repair the noses and lips of those who had been the subjects of syphilitic ulceration. The transplantation of part of a finger to form the basis of a new nose was one of his successes in the early period of plastic surgery. He was a man of striking appearance, tall, slender, and of upright carriage, and preserved in old age many of the characteristics of his early training in a crack regiment; above all things he valued punctuality.
