James Mann Williamson, MD, CM (Edin)- (1849-1901) was a highly respected doctor. His first appointment after qualifying at Edinburgh was as House Surgeon and Resident Medical Officer at the Royal National Hospital, Ventnor, where he stayed for three and a half years. He left to become Medical Officer to the Welbeck Dispensary, Marylebone and after, returned to practice in Ventnor. He eventually had a large private practice and his letters show that his patients included young Winston Churchill, Karl Marx and many of the nobility and gentry who patronised Ventnor at that time. He published extensively, mostly on matters medical. Saint Boniface (Latin: Bonifatius) (c. 675?–5 June 754 AD), born Winfrid, Wynfrith, or Wynfryth in or near Crediton in the kingdom of Wessex was a leading figure in the Anglo-Saxon mission to the Germanic parts of the Frankish Empire during the 8th century. He established the first organized Christianity in many parts of Germania. He is the patron saint of Germania, and the first archbishop of Mainz.
