Charles Bungay Fawcett information


Charles Bungay Fawcett (25 August 1883 – 21 September 1952)[1] was a British geographer, regarded as "one of the founders of modern British academic geography" and an early promoter of the idea of regional planning.[2]

He was born into a farming family in Staindrop, County Durham, and went to school in nearby Gainford. He studied science at University College, Nottingham and worked briefly as a schoolteacher before joining the staff under A. J Herbertson at the then-new School of Geography at Oxford University. He was later a lecturer at University College, Southampton, and Leeds University. In 1928, he was appointed Professor of Geography at University College London, where he remained until his retirement in 1949.[3]
