Pendrill Charles Varrier Jones

Dr (later Sir) Pendrill Charles Varrier Jones (24 February 1883 - 30 January 1941) was a Welsh-born physician who created Papworth Village Settlement, an industrial colony for the treatment and rehabilitation of tuberculosis patients.[1][2] From 1948, the treatment blocks of the settlement were passed to the National Health Service to become Papworth Hospital and the charitable foundation later became The Papworth Trust.[3][4]
