Henry Whitehead (22 September 1825 – 5 March 1896) was a Church of England priest and the assistant curate of St Luke's Church in Soho, London, during the 1854 cholera outbreak. A former believer in the miasma theory of disease, Whitehead worked to disprove false theories, but eventually came to prefer John Snow's idea that cholera spreads through water contaminated by human waste. Snow's work — and Whitehead's own investigations — convinced Whitehead that the Broad Street pump was the source of the local infections. Whitehead then joined with Snow in tracking the contamination to a cesspool that leaked into the water table which led to the outbreak's index case.

  • Henry Whitehead (22 September 1825 – 5 March 1896) was a Church of England priest and the assistant curate of St Luke's Church in Soho, London, during the 1854 cholera outbreak. A former believer in the miasma theory of disease, Whitehead worked to disprove false theories, but eventually came to prefer John Snow's idea that cholera spreads through water contaminated by human waste. Snow's work — and Whitehead's own investigations — convinced Whitehead that the Broad Street pump was the source of the local infections. Whitehead then joined with Snow in tracking the contamination to a cesspool that leaked into the water table which led to the outbreak's index case. Whitehead's work with Snow combined demographic study with scientific observation, setting important precedent for the burgeoning science of epidemiology. Whitehead served in several other London parishes before moving to Brampton, now in Cumbria, in 1874, where he was appointed the local vicar. He was instrumental in instigating a movement to build a new church in Brampton, which culminated in Phillip Webb's St. Martin's Church, the only church design of Webb's ever built and now a Grade I listed building. Whitehead moved on to Newlands in Cumberland in 1884, finally becoming vicar of Lanercost for five years until his death. (en)
  • Henry Whitehead (22 septembre 1825 - 5 mars 1896) était un membre du clergé de l'Église d'Angleterre et l'assistant du vicaire de l'église Saint-Luc dans le quartier Soho, à Londres, au cours de l'épidémie de choléra de 1854. Ancien partisan de la théorie des miasmes, Whitehead en vint finalement à préférer l'idée de John Snow à l'effet que le choléra se propage par l'eau contaminée par des déjections humaines. Le travail de Snow ainsi que ses propres enquêtes convainquit Whitehead que la pompe de Broad Street était la source des infections locales. Whitehead a ensuite rejoint Snow dans le suivi de la contamination tâchant d'identifier la fosse d'aisances et le patient zéro à l'origine de l'épidémie. Ce travail de Whitehead et Snow constitua une avancée d'importance pour la science, alors en plein essor, de l'épidémiologie. (fr)

Um ex-crente na teoria do miasma da doença, Whitehead trabalhou para refutar falsas teorias, mas acabou por preferir a ideia de John Snow de que a cólera se espalha através da água contaminada por dejetos humanos. O trabalho de Snow - e as próprias investigações de Whitehead - convenceram Whitehead de que a bomba da Broad Street era a fonte das infecções locais. Whitehead então se juntou a Snow para rastrear a contaminação em uma fossa que vazou para o lençol freático que levou ao paciente zero do surto. O trabalho de Whitehead com Snow combinou o estudo demográfico com a observação científica, estabelecendo um precedente importante para a ciência emergente da epidemiologia. (pt)
