Biography
Sir David Dundas, 1st Baronet (1749–1826), rose to prominence as a surgeon whose steady skill brought comfort to soldiers and civilians alike. At St Mary Magdalene Church in Richmond he is remembered not only for his professional eminence but for the warm, patient manner with which he tended to those in need, a hallmark of his long practice.
After a life devoted to the advancement of surgery and the training of younger practitioners, he was laid to rest in Richmond in 1826, and his memorial stands as a testament to his integrity, his service to the Crown, and the compassionate care that marked every stage of his career.
