A Tour of All Saints’ Parish Church, Carshalton
A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Sorry, this event is now fully booked. Father David Fisher, Rector at All Saints, writes: “This event will combine a talk and short historic tour of the building. Our history goes back at least to the Norman Conquest, and probably earlier (the tower being Norman). Over the centuries, All Saints’ has been at the heart of Carshalton life – and has impacted on wider national life too! Amongst other things, we’ll look at our links with Merton Priory, to the last Plantagenet Kings and Henry VII, to printing after the Great Fire of London, to the Bank of England and the ill-fated Russian Imperial Family. All Saints – a living Church where God has been worshipped for over 1000 years.” |

Carshalton Artists Events at Honeywood Museum
Saturday and Sunday 25/26 June, 2/3 July 10:00-17:00
CAOS is back, and it's better than ever!
Amazing news, Carshalton Artists will once again bring their popular Open Studios event to South London in June and July this year! Carshalton Artists Open Studios will launch on Saturday 25 June and run for one week up until the end of Sunday 3 July.
There will be incredibly talented artists on an easy to manage, but expansive, trail that will take in over 20 locations across the picturesque and historical village of Carshalton, Carshalton Beeches and Oaks Park. Carshalton Artists have also teamed up with Sutton Council’s Cultural Services to host up to 10 artists at Honeywood Museum in Carshalton. Over two weekends Carshalton Artists will be showing, selling and demonstrating what they do. There will be another significant exhibition of current local artists work at the Museum as well as local community groups showcasing what they do. Finally, in collaboration with Sutton Writers, there will be a trail of the art on display at Honeywood with poetry and this will be placed across Carshalton in streets and parks.
Further afield there will also be a once in a lifetime student art competition, where the winners receive free mentoring and an exhibition from The Corner Gallery in Carshalton Beeches. Helena Vaughan, founder of Carshalton Artists and organiser of this year’s Open Studios event: “We are so pleased to be delivering the CAOS event once again, as it was intended. The previous two years have been hard and many found our online and ‘Open Streets’ events so uplifting in a time of hardship. But everyone has missed the Open Studios personalities and wonderful studios and so we have worked hard to make it happen like that again.”
If you want to see the amazing cultural talent on display, if you want to be inspired by and create with artists, If you have been missing the personalities and seeing their studios in action…then come and join Carshalton Artists at Honeywood in June and July.

The Church at London Bridge
Thursday 28 July 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event A Talk by Guy Rowston, The Honorary Archivist for Southwark Cathedral Starting probably as a 7th century parish church, the building we know as Southwark Cathedral became, in 1106, an Augustinian priory, one of three remaining monastic establishments in London today. After the Reformation, it became the parish church of Southwark. To meet the pastoral needs of an ever-expanding south London, the church became a cathedral in 1905, serving the new diocese of south London and east Surrey. As the religious heart of Southwark, it also has a rich history with connections to St Thomas Becket, Chaucer, King James I of Scotland, Shakespeare and Dickens. Email Susan Hoskin to book – tickets £5 (£6 non-members), including refreshments |
