- Horace Evans, 1st Baron Evans GCVO (1 January 1903 – 26 October 1963) was a Welsh general physician known for serving the British royal family. The son of musician Harry Evans, Evans left his studies in music at age 18 years to pursue a career in medicine. With of the London Hospital Medical College, he worked on Bright's disease and on the relationship between nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Evans was the personal physician to King George VI and conferred with Sir Clement Price Thomas during the king's illness and famous lung surgery in 1951. According to historian Peter Hennessy, Evans was "probably the leading general physician of his generation". However, in 1953, he referred foreign minister Anthony Eden for an operation, from which Eden's health never fully recovered, an operation which has been the subject of much discussion. One of his daughters died in an accident at a young age and both Evans and his wife died in 1963, leaving the barony extinct. (en)
