Sir Edwyn Wren Hoskyns, born 4 February 1956 and died 19 February 2015, was a British paediatrician and childhood disease researcher, especially into tuberculosis. He became the 17th Hoskyns Baronet of Harewood on 2 June 2010. The name Wren came from the 7th Baronet’s son, who married Theodosia, great-granddaughter of architect Sir Christopher Wren. To preserve the names, the Hoskyns family kept using Wren and Chandos in later branches.
