Can you tell me something of the history of Fitzalan House Veterinary Group?
Fitzalan House Veterinary Group was established almost 100 years ago, well before it acquired it’s current name. The original horse and farm-orientated practice was based in Arundel, and served all the farm and domestic animals in the surrounding area. Mr Angwin, the then Principal, commuted over from Brighton every day and carried out farm calls with his horse and cart. He was succeeded in 1926 by a Canadian Cavalry Officer, Mr. Hill, who presided over the young practice and set up a branch in Littlehampton in 1946. He was joined by Olaf Swarbrick, who later became a partner and renowned poultry expert, in 1950. In 1951 the practice was taken over by Mike Ashton. Ian Hutchinson joined the partnership in 1966.
