Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2013 online) entry:
Badham, Charles David (1805 - 1857), naturalist, was born in London on 27 August 1805, the eldest son of
Charles Badham (1780 - 1845), physician and classical scholar, and his first wife, Margaret Campbell, a first
cousin of Thomas Campbell (1777 - 1844). He was educated at Westminster School, Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, and Pembroke College, Oxford, from where he graduated MD in 1833. After taking his degree he
was appointed a Radcliffe travelling fellow of the University of Oxford, residing for some time on the continent,
especially at Rome and at Paris, where he practised medicine, having become a fellow of the College of
Physicians in 1834. On returning to England in 1845 he was forced to give up medical practice for health
reasons, choosing instead to enter the church. He was ordained deacon in Norwich on 31 January 1847 and
priest the following year, becoming curate first of Wymondham and then of East Bergholt, Suffolk. He married
Anna, daughter of James Deacon Hume (1774 - 1842), on 8 April 1847.
As well as contributing to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine and Fraser's Magazine, Badham wrote several works
of natural history, the first of which, The Question Concerning the Sensibility of Insects (1837), he published in
Paris under the pseudonym Scarabaeus. His work on edible fungi, while being greeted with some derision, is
said to have introduced many varieties of mushrooms to the English table. Perhaps his most famous work was
Prose Halieutics, or, Ancient and Modern Fish Tattle (1854), a compendium of fish lore and recipes. Badham died
on 14 July 1857 in East Bergholt.

Charles Badham, eldest son of Dr. Charles Badham of London, was educated first at Westminster School. He
entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge, in 1822 and won a scholarship two years later. He took his degree in
1826. After studying medicine at Pembroke College, Oxford, from 1829 to 1833, he practised in Rome and Paris
for several years until ill health forced him to abandon his medical career. He returned from abroad in 1845 and
was ordained in 1847. For the remainder of his life, while holding curacies in East Anglia, he devoted himself to
natural history. He was a frequent contributor to Blackwood's and Fraser's Magazines, and published three
works, Insect Life (1845), The Esculent Funguses of England (1847) and Prose Halieutics, or Ancient and Modern
Fish Tattle (1854). He died at East Bergholt in Suffolk.
