After an apprenticeship in Morpeth he studied under William Hey.[3] In 1780 he came to St. George's Hospital, London to work under John Hunter. He became house surgeon at Lock Hospital staying until 1818. He was also surgeon to the Public Dispensary, Carey Street. His son John Norman Pearson was an eminent Anglican priest.
