Christopher Robert Pemberton (1765–1822) was born in Cambridgeshire. He was educated at Bury St Edmund’s and at Caius College, Cambridge. He proceeded MB 1789; MD 1794; was admitted a Candidate of the College of Physicians 25 June 1795; and a Fellow 25 June 1796. He was Censor in 1796, 1804, 1811; Gulstonian lecturer in 1797; and Harveian orator in 1806. He was a fellow of the Royal Society, and physician-extraordinary to the King. Dr Pemberton was elected physician to St George's hospital on 25 April, 1800, but resigned that office in 1808. He had long suffered from tic douloureux in its most aggravated form, and had submitted with great patience to a division of several branches of the fifth pair of nerves under the judicious operation of Sir Astley Cooper.
