Dr Charles Matthew Frier – Grantham’s Beloved Physician Pt.1.

The youngest of 5 children, Charles Matthew Frier was born in Northallerton, North Yorkshire. At the age of 4, he lost his mother and was cared for by his Aunt’s Family in Edinburgh. He graduated aged 21 from that fine Edinburgh University Medical School thanks to belonging to a strong, caring Scottish Family. Aged 25 he arrived in Grantham and spent the next 60 years as Medical Doctor and Surgeon. Prior to that he worked at several hospitals in the country. He became the founder of a local Children’s Charity that is still in operation today. This story will include his Family History and attempts to explain why he became a Children’s Champion.
