Details

Educated at the Newcastle Medical School (University of Durham) and Guy's Hospital, he joined the resident staff of the Sussex County Hospital, Brighton. He went back to Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1901 as assistant surgeon to the Northumberland and Durham Eye Infirmary, but returned to Brighton in 1907 as assistant surgeon to the Sussex Eye Hospital. He was elected consulting surgeon when he retired in 1931, and supported his junior colleagues in the rebuilding of the hospital. He was also ophthalmic surgeon to the County Hospital and to Worthing Hospital.
Bryant practised at 68 Brunswick Place, Hove, with a country house at Copsale near Horsham, where he died on 19 September 1959 aged 88, being then the fourth senior Fellow on the College roll. He was a man of downright opinions, but courteous and kind. He was a keen naturalist, particularly interested in birds, and had a fine collection of eggs.
