Rare viewing of the Burton Ledger Stone in Carshalton Parish Church

1/2/2025

 
The ledger stone to Charles Burton (died 1661) of Carshalton will be revealed for a one-off event on Sunday 23 February.

The Burtons were a major family in Carshalton during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and this is one of the few extant remains of the family in Carshalton that survives today. The slab is deeply incised, and has an excellent coat-of-arms which lead us to the 'City of the Legions' in Roman Wales!

This monument is invariably covered up under the carpet beneath the Altar in the sanctuary of the Lady Chapel, roughly behind the rails and white notice seen in the image of the East end of the chapel, and had not been seen for many years until uncovered late last year.

It has been agreed that the ledger slab should be uncovered for a short time, between 12:15 and 14:00 on Sunday 23 February, just after the Sunday service which ends around 12:00, to allow visitors a unique opportunity to view it - the Altar is VERY heavy and it will not be moved again in the foreseeable future! All are welcome - both public and congregation alike.
​
There will be teas/biscuits available immediately after the service, if you would like to come early for refreshment before seeing the monument. There will be other information about the monument on the day, and well-known local historian Andrew Skelton will be in attendance.
All Saints' Church, High Street, Carshalton SM5 3AG

The latest edition of the Greater London Bus Map is now available. Nostalgic for many, this edition shows the complete list of London bus routes, including the night bus network in map form, and, on the reverse, in route order. It includes all the most recent changes in Carshalton, Sutton and surrounding areas. It is just £2, and is available for so long as our limited stocks last.

Also new to our shelves is this book by Jean Knight charting the history of what is now ​St. Philomena's School. 267pp

A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event

 
A Talk from Alun Thomas, London Canal Museum
 
Until the early 1960s the River Thames was thronged with vessels of all shapes and sizes bringing goods to London. Of these, lighters were the most numerous although the most insignificant in appearance. They played a vital role in moving cargos from ship to shore and from dock to upriver wharf. These unique vessels had no means of propulsion beyond the ingress and egress of the tide.
 
Alun will explain how the trade developed and shed light on the life of the lightermen whose skill controlled these barges.

​
Seats £7 (£6 Members) - refreshments free
