Horace Mann Livens, 1862-1936: In the Light of 'Van Gogh in Britain'
Showing until Sunday 29 September The opening of the recent 'Van Gogh in Britain' exhibition at Tate Britain, stirred enthusiasm amongst Sutton’s Heritage team for a local born artist who was an associate of van Gogh, and whose work is also held in the Tate collection. Born in Croydon in 1862, Horace Mann Livens is today largely unknown, even in the areas where he lived and worked. Entrance is Free. |

The State of Education
Showing until Spring 2020 In 1833, the government’s first direct financial involvement in education began with a grant of £20,000. A relatively small sum, this signified the beginning of the State’s involvement in building an education system that we recognise today. We take a look at some of the early developments in education from this time period and what school life might have looked like for the teachers and pupils of what is now the London Borough of Sutton at the time. Entrance is Free. |
