Charles Thomas  Knox-Shaw  ( 1854/1855  -  11.1939 )

British doctor who converted to homeopathy. His son Harold Knox-Shaw was a renowned astronomer who was assistant (1908–1913) and then superintendent (1913-1924) at the Khedivial Astronomical Observatory in Helwan; in parallel, he was also Director of Meteorological Services in Egypt and Sudan (1918–1924). Charles T. Knox-Shaw may have collected Egyptian artefacts while visiting his son there, or have received them from his son. He donated some (or all?) artefacts to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, in 1931.
