Will Pickles was a GP in Asygrarth, Wensleydale until his death in 1969 (I think). He laid the foundations of epidemiology in this country by studying and reporting the spread of common infectious illnesses in a stable rural community. However, it must be said that while he was doing this the actual general practice work was mostly done by a string of "assistants". the last of whom, Dr Bernard Coltman took over the practice along with his wife Kit on Dr Pickle's death. Bernard retired shortly after my arrival in Wensleydale (no connection I have been assured <g>). There are several references (all of them long before the advent of Medline). Most of them are listed in "Will Pickles of Wensleydale" written by John Pemberton. My copy was published by the Readers Union. Hope this helps.
