[ history ]
Our Name
The name Repton and Clover was inspired by two great sons of Aylsham: the landscape gardener Sir Humphry Repton and the pioneer anaesthetist Dr Joseph Clover.
[ 1752 - 1818 ]
Sir Humphry Repton
Sir Humphry Repton (1752 to 1818) was one of the finest landscape gardeners of his age. Among other commissions, Repton was responsible for the Brighton Pavilion, Woburn House, London’s Bedford Square, and Sheringham Park in North Norfolk. He shares a tomb in Aylsham graveyard with William Scott who was once an occupant of the Old Bank House.
[1825 - 1882 ]
Dr Joseph Clover
* Born in Aylsham, Dr Joseph Clover (1825-82) was a pioneer anaesthetist who devised apparatus for the safer administration of chloroform to relieve pain. His innovations won him contemporary renown and he numbered among his patients Napoleon III of France, Florence Nightingale, Sir Robert Peel, and Princess Alexandra of Denmark.
