Royal Female Orphanage Beddington - Call for Oral History Participants

23/9/2021

2 Comments

 
Picture
St. Mary's, Beddington, are looking for people who have memories associated with the Royal Female Orphanage, who would be happy to share these as part of their Oral History project.
  • This would involve being interviewed and recorded by a trained oral history volunteer who will ask you about your memories/knowledge of the Royal Female Orphanage
  • Interviews will take place either at: St Mary’s Church, Beddington, Church Rd, Wallington SM6 7NJ, or remotely (via zoom)
This is being funded as part of their National Lottery Heritage Fund Project: Restoring and Celebrating the Art and Craftsmanship of St Mary’s, Beddington, which aims to engage the local community as well as new and diverse audiences with the church’s heritage and collections through its Activity Plan.
They’d be particularly interested in hearing from you if:
  • You attended or know someone who attended/worked at the orphanage (e.g. a relative, friend, etc.)
  • You were a local resident or know someone who was a resident when the orphanage was open in Beddington
  • You are a local resident in the London Borough of Sutton who has knowledge about the orphanage
  • You were a resident in High Wycombe during the time when the orphanage was located there, between 1943–1968
If you are interested in participating and would like to find out more, please contact their Activity Plan Coordinator, Philippa Mesiano at heritage@stmarysbeddington.org.uk.

Annual General Meeting 2021

4/6/2021

0 Comments

 
The Friends’ 2021 AGM would normally be held at the end of June. As that is very close to the possible end of restrictions, we have decided to run the AGM by post again this year. We will follow the same timescale as last year as that seemed to work well. This means:
Picture
  1. a nomination form for any additional Trustees and an explanation of the postal arrangements should have been received by all members following posting on 1 June.
  2. on 1 July all AGM papers will be sent to all members on the latest membership list. These will include the Trustees’ Report; the Treasurer’s report and 2020/21 accounts; Membership Secretary’s Report and a voting form including the election of Trustees and the Honorary Auditor.
All voting papers will need to be returned to the Chairman, Sue Kelsall, by 17:00 on 9 August.

​A full report of the outcome of the AGM will be put on The Friends’ Website shortly afterwards.

We’re delighted to announce that Honeywood Museum will reopen on Thursday 20 May, Thursdays to Saturdays 10:00 to 17:00. We’re excited to welcome you back for a thoroughly enjoyable visit. You can book your visit through our eventbright page where you can also see any new exhibitions, events and fun family activities that we’ll have available. Walk-in visits will also be available.
 
What will my visit be like?
 
Your safety, and that of our staff, is our highest priority. That’s why we’ve introduced timed visits to stagger entry flow and help with social distancing. A ticket allows a group of up to six people from the same household or support bubble to visit the building for one hour. Visitors are also required to wear face coverings during their visit. Combined with a one-way route and an enhanced cleaning regime, including hand sanitisers on entry, we are pleased to be welcoming our visitors back safely.
 
The Friends' Shop

Our Shop at Honeywood Museum, with its range of unusual gifts and publications, will be open throughout the Museum's opening hours.

Honeywood Tea Room
 
Honeywood's Tea Room opening times remain unchanged, Monday to Thursday 10:00-18:00 and Friday to Sunday 10:00-18:30.

Little Holland House is currently closed until further notice due to project works.

As far as possible, we will aim to extend the exhibitions that are on display, to create an opportunity for visitors to see them when we are able to reopen. We are very grateful to our community partners for their understanding in enabling us to do this. This will include the Fairies Woodland Party, There’s No Place Like Home, and the Honeywood Embroidery Group exhibitions at Honeywood Museum.
 
Until then, we are pleased to be able to give a taster of all three exhibitions online with accompanying short films on our Exhibitions page.
