A little later they joined Dr Robert Harvard in partnership working in practices in Headington and at 44 St Giles.

The joint practice grew until it was the largest in Oxford, with around 15,000 patients.

Among them were Professor JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis and Graham Greene.

Dr Clubb and Dr Havard both joined meetings of Tolkien and Lewis’s famous literary group The Inklings at the Eagle and Child pub in St Giles, just a few doors down from their surgery.
