Carshalton Walking Tour
Sunday 22 September Starting at 09:30
Starts from Carshalton station. Ends 16:30 at Honeywood Museum
4.5 mile circular walk. Includes Carew Manor and Dovecote, All Saints Church,Carshalton Water Tower and Honeywood Museum.
This delightfully bucolic four and a half mile circular walk visits an array of historic buildings, some dating from a thousand years ago. We'll take the Wandle Trail footpath to Beddington Park for a very rarely offered tour of the magnificent 14th Century Carew Manor followed by a visit within the Manor's huge, early 18th Century Dovecote. After lunch at the Park's café a mile of most attractive parkland leads to a brief yet appealing interlude of early Victorian houses. Arriving at Grove Park and Carshalton Ponds we'll enter All Saints Church. This gem predates the Domesday Book and contains the remarkable work of the acclaimed ecclesiastical architect Sir Ninian Comper. Our journey continues to the beautifully restored early 18th Century Water Tower with its elaborate bathing facilities and the Hermitage, a charming adjacent folly. We conclude at 16.30 with the splendid Honeywood local history museum, itself of 18th origin. The day will prove what an attractive and surprisingly rural place Carshalton has remained, truly one of London's finest villages.

An Unexpected Treasure -
Tales from the oldest senior school in Sutton Thursday 26 September 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Sutton High School was founded in 1884 by the Girls’ Day School Company, whose purpose was to provide a ‘public school’, liberal education for middle-class girls. The school is fortunate enough to possess a substantial archive which includes magazines, log-books, various artefacts and a wealth of photographs. The archive reveals the school to be a microcosm of national events such as the two World Wars and the development of women’s rights. It gives us a unique, sometimes poignant and occasionally humorous insight into Sutton’s past as will be revealed by Sue James. Tickets are £5 (£4 Friends) - FREE tea and coffee from 19:00 Please phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |
Students from the first years with Miss Whyte
