Research

This is the story of our practice as it has evolved with the development of medicine over the past two centuries.

Although it has been produced primarily for our patients and local residents, we feel it may also be of interest to other general practices and medical historians. We were surprised at the variety and depth of our own history which includes:

· The first description of a rare form of epilepsy.

· A Victorian polymath whose research interests included the weights of human teeth and the study of shells.

· A campaign which lead to the first council houses in England being built.

We hope this site will encourage other practices to research and publish their own histories and perhaps produce a virtual history of general practice.

We will add links to any similar sites we are notified of and will also, with permission, publish any comments or reviews we receive of the site.
