Charles Bungay Fawcett

Charles Bungay Fawcett (25 August 1883 – 21 September 1952) 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.

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. Provided by Wikipedia
