Inside the story
Mr Hoggins is Cranford’s hearty, blunt country surgeon, serving the town with practical skill and little concern for polished manners. His direct speech and rough country ways lead the Cranford ladies to regard him as vulgar.
Robust, ruddy-faced middle-aged man of genial, unrefined manner; plain, practical clothes; sturdy and hale.
