Royal Female Orphanage Beddington - Call for Oral History Participants

23/9/2021

 
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 [email protected].
