James Manby Gully

Traditional and Historical Medicine Practitioners

James Manby Gully (14 March 1808 to 27 March 1883) was an English physician, well known for practising hydrotherapy. Along with his partner, he founded a very successful hydropathy clinic in Malvern, Worcestershire, which had many notable Victorians, including Charles Darwin and Alfred, Lord Tennyson, as clients. His clinic using Malvern water in Great Malvern, and those that followed, were largely responsible for the town growing rapidly from a village to a large town. He is also remembered as a suspect in the Charles Bravo poisoning case.
