Born at Greenwich on 25 December 1826, he was fifth of six sons of Samuel Collingwood (1786–1852), an architect and contractor, of Wellington Grove, Greenwich, and his wife Frances, daughter of Samuel Collingwood (1762–1841), printer to the Clarendon Press. Educated at King's College School, he matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, on 8 April 1845, and graduated B.A. in 1849, proceeding M.A. in 1852 and M.B. in 1854. He subsequently studied at Edinburgh University and at Guy's Hospital, and spent some time in the medical schools of Paris and Vienna.[1][2][3]
From 1858 to 1866 Collingwood held the appointment of lecturer on botany to the Liverpool Royal Infirmary School of Medicine. In 1866–7 he served as surgeon and naturalist on HMS Rifleman and HMS Serpent on voyages in the China Seas, and made researches in marine zoology. Elected Fellow of the Linnean Society in 1853, he served on its council in 1868. He also lectured on biology at the Liverpool School of Science. He became senior physician of the Northern Hospital in Liverpool and took part in the intellectual life of the city. In 1876–7 he travelled in Palestine and Egypt.[1]
At the end of his life, Collingwood lived in Paris, where he died on 20 October 1908.[1]
