RH & RW Clutton [1] is an independent firm of chartered surveyors in south-east England that can be traced back to as early at 1744. It is based in East Grinstead and has offices in Petworth [2] and Guildford.
RH & RW Clutton was originally founded back in 1765, when William Clutton took over his father-in-law's surveying business in Sussex and began trading under his own name. [3] He had a son, also named William, who had five sons - Robert, Ralph, John, Henry and William.
One of those grandsons, John Clutton, moved to London in 1837 to found the London business which today trades as Cluttons.[ citation needed] John's brothers remained in Sussex to concentrate on the land agency business, which continues today as RH & RW Clutton. [4]
The company has been managing rural estates since 1743 [5] [6] and is one of the oldest property firms in the world and the oldest land management firm in the United Kingdom. [6] [7] It retains some of its original clients, and has acted for some families over many generations.[ citation needed] The firm is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. [8]
