St, Mary’s Homeopathic Dispensary, 80, High Steet, Hastings:
Archibald Richard Shaw served as Physician to St. Mary’s Convalescent Home at 79-80 High Street, Hastings. This institution, founded in 1866 by Miss Martha Kingsbury (1824 – 1905) and her brother, Reverend Thomas Luck Kingsbury M.A. (c. 1822 – 1899), was organized on homeopathic principles. The Home advertised itself “for the purpose of affording the advantages of sea-air, rest, and Homoeopathic medical treatment, to a few respectable women out of health.” By 1870, the Home was at 1 Carlton Terrace.
An homeopathic dispensary was also located at the Convalescent Home, with Shaw as its Physician. This was one of two homeopathic dispensaries in Hastings, the other overseen by Dr. Alexander Richard Croucher at 52 Robertson Street. It appears around 1880 that the two dispensaries merged to form the Hastings and St. Leonards’ Homeopathic Dispensary, with Croucher as Honorary Physician and Shaw’s son’s Frank Herbert Shaw as surgeon and Charles Thomas Knox Shaw as eye specialist.

‘Thelibararian (Brighton) rooted around in her card file, and found a record book for the Sussex Country Homeopathic Dispensary, covering dates 1910 – 1927, containing 133 hardwritten pages. I scanned some of it; the Dispensary was at 29 Richmond Place in 1913. Chairman was always a W A Hounsom. Last meeting, at 4 Pavilion Buildings, seemed to be winding up the organisation. 28-29 Richmond Place had been sold for £2314.15.2, (or perhaps that sum less liabilities) sent to treasurer of the London Homeopathic Hospital. The record book is in libraries’ rare book section, so if you wanted to know more you’d probably have to come look at it in situ’ (from Alan Campbell (private researcher in Brighton 2.12.10)
