The origins of Epsom can be traced back to the unwavering dedication of Dr John Propert, who sought to enhance the lives of those facing adversity. Driven by his tireless efforts, he extended free housing, clothing, and education to the orphans of medical families, laying the foundation for the noble legacy of the College.

Through the visionary efforts of Dr Propert, crucial funds were mobilized, marking the inception of The Royal Medical Benevolent College. The enduring principles of benevolence and excellence, rooted in the Victorian era and upon which Epsom was established, continue to illuminate the path of the College to this present day.
